The poem starts, "In Flanders fields where poppies grow, Among the crosses row on row". This is where thousands of Canadian soldiers now rest in peace and who paid the ulti- mate price for the freedoms of us all. The greatest number of these soldiers. were white males. It makes me sick to think that if these men knew that in today's politically cor- rect society, their grandsons who are also white males, can- not apply for a job with the On- tario government, because they are white males. What did these brave men fight and die for? It makes me very angry to think that a few of my relatives also 'gave their lives to protect us from the evils of dictators who would strip us of our rights and freedoms. But Fetus no longer a baby? To the Editor: "Smoking during pregnancy can harm the baby." This mes- sage is printed on some packs of cigarettes. Our legislators got that statement written on t ere. So why is abortion simply - called the "termination of a fe- tus." Suddenly it is no longer a baby. And we men and women, we were never once a fetus were we? If we were, and I am sure we were, we have now become self righteous idiots. Years ago, when the third person of the Trinity was named the Holy Ghost, we tend- ed to respect our peers. Why, be- cause they didn't just write and talk the truth, but they lived it and to hell with who it embar- rassed.

These rights and free- doms are being taken away from us by our very own politi- cians who in their ignorance, blindly believe that they are do- ing what they think is right. Well I say that they are wrong, very wrong. I believe these so- cialists understand full well what they are doing. We are for- tunate that we do not have to go to war against these people with the prospect of losing our lives in the fight against this in- Justice. But we must fight these misfits with our voices, and fi- nally our votes. These traitors of democracy must be stopped. The difference between freedom and oppression is simply a ques- tion of consent, and no one should be subjected to any law he does not agree with, with the exception of a law to protect the right to freedom of others. It's the NDP we don't need. Who and what group will be their next target? As the saying goes, May a thousand curses fall upon their house. Andy Cobean Pickering, Ontario PLANNING TO MOVE?
