If you want flip silly responses to questions like "Do you think Crown Corporations are a good thing?", read the Toronto Scum (sorry, Sun) reponses from the Editor. Regarding the "will of the majority": It is obvious Ian and I are on different wavelengths! Essentially I feel that the individual should be free to do whatever he/she wants, and that the only limit that society can place upon that individual is to not condone actions that harm others. The impression I get from some articles is that society is more important than individuals; I can never accept this. That way lies repression. (No, you CANNOT fly that hang-glider. SOCIETY will have to pay your medical bills, should you hurt yourself) (No, you MUST wear you seatbelt/motorcycle helmut. SOCIETY will have to pay. YES, SOCIETY is more important than your happiness or your liberty. All dissenters, into prison. All gays, into the camps. YOU MUST HAVE THAT CHILD.) -- Chris Retterath {decvax,utcsrgv,utzoo}!hcr!hcrvax!chrisr
