GIVE A GUY AN EVEN BREAK 1 have been reading and listening to, the contro- versy that has» been taking place out west wlth respect Wo the antl-semetic (let's eil get the Jews) propoganda ...I1feel si 1 There la nothing so hideous' as discrimination. Whether it involves women la the work force, civil nights,. religious nights - you name it. Aren't we supposed Wo be a free country, within the limita 0f the law of course? My feelings have always been "«give a guy an evenbreak". You might not agree with a person's convictions but you have to agree with their rlight to have those convictions. If you are secure enough in your own attitude you have no reason to worry. I feel people who get carried away and atart tW throw atones are usually those who are unsure of themselves. I have always tried to know those who many would consider are "different" from myself. Differ- ent colora, différent religions, different political. persuasions. I must admit 1 have been atung. Let's face it, there la good and bad even in the lower for- i of life let alone human beings. 1This witch hunt f people of the Jewish persuasion la latolerable to me, as it would be if those in question were labled Protestant, Catholie or Zen Buddhist for that matter. Every area has ethnic jokes. I have heard my fair share of "Newfie" and "Pepsi"l goodies as I arn sure la other parts of this country there are "On- tario Capitaliat"' jokes. If it la said with affection it's acceptable. It's nice to be laughed with but not at. I hope this is flot a trend of our tines. Over the Years I have met rnany "Jews"'. To be truthful I have not liked thein ail, but that la life. The major- ity, however, are lovely people. They want only to ive out their lives, work productively and raise hfeir families ... just like you do. The point 1 arn trying to make la people are ýeople. Forget the frilla, the background, the color, he religion. Get to know the peoplel1 If you find you lon't like them, well flad. That la your prerogative. t least give them a chance and judge thern for vhat they are and only as they treat you.
