This would indicate a poor site for any landfill. More about Tom Dear Sir: I haven’t wanted to honour Tom Brophy’s Oct. 25 letter of abuse with any kind of reply. What drives him to react to one picture with such a tirade-lesbians, dogs, feminists and his wife’s abortion? But the letier in question is a frightening example of hate literature. It generates hatred toward a general category (ic. fesbians) and in our small town, toward a thinly dis- guised (“rural lesbians’’) group of individuals, Before Tom Brophy and The Standard decide to publish his private thoughts again; they should look beyond the delights of the resulting controversy, and consider the pain they cause. Mary Steves, aut eee B.C. * * r * ee Dear Sir; : , . Charlynn Toews, of ‘the: ‘taxpayer, funded Terrace Women’s Resource Centre in a Nov. 8 letter to the editor, says the “lesbian members’’ are feeling slandered, hurt and full of rage from Tom Brophy’s Oct, 25 letter. The publicly funded feminists are upset because some- one expressed a differing opinion. They call that “hate mongering’’. They want the person “‘restrained’’ because “this kind of hate hurts ali women.”’ ‘a The women’s centre does not speak for me or for the ma- jority of women in the community. The only women I know who are wallowing in imagined hurt and victimhood are the feminists, The rest of us are able to withstand a va- tiety of opinions, i+ Lydia Piper, It’s ¢ a dinosaur Dear Sir: Re: the Nov. 1 ‘City denies cable TV plea’ story. I have lived in a rural area for the last 20 years, and I would like to endorse B.C. Tel to the Canadian Radio- television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), to provide television, on-demand video and internet signals through their phone lines, Personally 1 could not care less if B.C. Tel is 50.1 per cent foreign owned.or even if it was 100 per cent. At least they have serviced me well at this time and that is more than I can say about Skeena Broadcasters, who is most likely 100 per cent Canadian owned, It will certainly be interesting to see the CRTC ruling on * government owned telephone systems such as Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Prince Rupert City Telephones. In my opinion the CRTC is a dinosaur whose time has come and gone in this new information age. Gordon O. Lee, Terrace, B.C.
