	[stuff about Nuremberg Laws not applying to Quebec situation]

   Don't you see at least a little bit of a parallel between the
   Nuremberg Laws and the current situation in Quebec? We have a
   situation where an identifiable group of people, formerly
   integrated into society, have some of their civil rights removed
   because they are members of that group.

   It is wrong to treat *anyone* as a second class citizen, no matter
   how "noble" the reason or cause.  I'm sure the Nazis thought they
   were operating from the highest principles in doing what they did.

I must say I agree with Fergie...(hi).  The sad thing is that even
Muldoon is saying that Quebec anglophones WILL HAVE TO SUFFER until
Quebec francophones feel culturally secure.  That is the biggest
indictment of the Meech Lake Accord, and of Muldoon's and Bourassa's
two-faced hypocritical approach to basic human rights.

I too was born in Montreal; French is my maternal language.  But I
will never ever have anything more to do with French Quebec as long as
I can help it.  May their culture, artifically-preserved at the
cost of basica civil rights, lead them into economic and political
oblivion.
