Hypocrisy
Dear Editor:
Well Goderich, being a
new year and a month of rest
for most living things and
being on the positive slide, I
therefore propose a- name
change for our fair town.
Hypocracy, or how about
alone. I live and see both.
When a man _can't put a
Memorial in the paper for his
partner there is something
wrong. In reality, what isn't
printed isn't read or seen and
therefore swept under the
rug. Just like most of the
council members despise
Jim Searls for disturbing
your flow and for yearly
voting against a raise, I too
have no intentions to fade
away and radiate. The
electric light orchestra will
look like a warmup act. In
the meantime, may your
lawyers fall into streams and
Dick Eisler not mistake my
cat for a skunk.
