Students cleaning up
DEAR EDITOR,
We feel that the earth is getting
dirty. We think that everybody
should start cleaning it up.
In February we gave the earth
hugs and warm fuzzies. We tried
really hard to save the earth by not
littering, not using too much hydro,
and not wasting too much water.
Here are some of the hugs we
gave the earth:
1 turned off the tap upstairs in the
washroom. - Bryce Hunt
I turned off the light. - Cheryl
Armstrong.
When I wrote my story I didn’t
waste paper. - Amy Demaray
I turned off the T.V. - Crystal
Ahrens.
I am saving gas by driving to school
with a friend. - Miss Rose.
I turned off a tap that was dripping.
- Mike Stephenson
I turned off the water in the
bathroom. - Katrina Reesor.
I turned off the light. - Destiny
Lichty.

you’re better off for it. Almost all
porn soft and hard core is violent at
its best. If indeed it was truly
erotica I would be in favour of it,
but reading lies about how adults
and children enjoy being humiliat
ed. degraded and used as sexual
objects will never help anyone
establish a good relationship with
another human being. Making
heroes out of cartoon characters
like “Chester the Molester’’? I'm
sorry, 1 don’t see the humour, and
when the softest of all pornography
has the “Happy Hooker” as the
love advisor or sex counsellor it’s
downright silly to suggest that
society is going to adopt healthy
habits from reading this crap.
As far as studies go, a recent
study showed that 82 per cent of all
rapists admit to imitating porno
graphy; of 3800 rapes in the state of
Michigan 41 per cent of rapists
used pornography just prior or
during their assaults.
The list could continue. We could
talk about Garry Bishop or Thomas
Shirow, porn collectors who give
full credit to the industry for egging
them on while they raped, molest
ed and murdered at least 29 women
and children between the two of
them.
I know that not every one who
views pornography will become
demented, but 1 also know that
almost all sex criminals studied are
imitating what they have seen and
read, so why keep showing them
this garbage!
I hav#> to Dick with anave no bones to nick with green-hairvu ui<a.. P,CK with a
society allow the producers of
pornography to promote miscon
ceptions about our wives and
children before we see that vio
lence is being fuelled by money-
hungry scum that worries more
about their pockets than they do
about what happens to you or your
family.
If there are any anti-sexual, anti
pleasure attitudes in society, it’s in
pornography. If anyone is imma
ture and uncertain about sexual
matters it’s the pornographers.
Pornography is so filled with
hatred, lies and misconceptions
that considering it good for society
has got to be wrong; unfortunately
for the victims of pornography
“dead” wrong.
You are right, Doug. The solu
tion is not going to be easy, but it
only makes sense to start with the
obvious. Getting ride of material
that suggests that any part of the
human race enjoy being victimized
is a logical start.
At the root of the violence
problem is insecurity and uncer
tainty, and neither of these will go
away as long as we allow lies to
counsel the uncertain and hatred to
comfort the insecure.
