It may seem contradictory, but 1.ewould have no .objection, for example, if some of my taxes went into a ship -build- ing program for the navy, and some of it helped to fi- nance the Prune. M,lnister's peace initiative. I have no objection to my tax money being used in support of the CBC, the National Film Boards the Canada Council, and the National Gallery" I applaud the fact that some of my taxes go towards alle- viating the misery of Canada's native peoples, and will applaud even louder when the money is used to support native self-govern- ment. I'm not upset by the fact that some of my tax money is used to, pay the salaries of Members of Par- liament. If they were paid on the merit principle, some of them would get a good deal more than they are making, and a few would draw a good deal less. I don't object to contributing towards _ the salaries of our civil servants, although I believe that in a saner world there would be fewer of their!. I don't object to the increasingly pathetic percentage of my tax dollar that goes into .foreign aid programs. It ought to be much higher. 'But if I had my way, not ,a cent of my takes would go into government advertise- ments which tell me that the choice of the F-18 was a bril- liant one.'I would prefer that none of my money be used to buy drinks and lunch for 'my •fellow reporters and as- sorted Ottawa sponge ar- tists.

That stuff rots my middle class socks. All of which brings me to the starting point ---of this mild-mannered diatribe? a Canadian Press story which came across the wires re- cently about a special com- mittee appointed by the federal government to study prostitution and i porn- ography. It's expected to cost the government about $800,000,, and I'll be a monk- ey's uncle if it comes in under a million dollars. Men who buy pornographic material are being asked by the committee to come for- ward and testify. The com- mittee wants to know more about their backgrounds, why they buy the stuff and what effect it has on them. The committee will arrange pri to meetings for those w11 are too embarrassed to about that kind of thing in public. If that isn't the worst piece of time. wasting nonsense to cross this desk in recent weeks, then I don't know the difference between Penthouse and the National GeogFaphic. And neither do the ninnies who set the com- Mittee up. "MON, LET'S SEE WHAT THIS OLD HEAP WILL DO." What it may "do" is tonin wheelchair fora ife: Drive with care. CANADIAN . PARAPLtGIC ,ASSDCIATION.
