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. --------- Robert Ferguson ...uunet!microsoft!robertfe 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. -- T.
