Dear Editor:
Re: “To punish or prevent,” Opinion, Jan. 30; “Stop the development ‘insanity,’” Letters, Jan. 30
Three cheers for both your editorial opinion and your publication of Ray Arnold’s letter to the editor with respect to life here on Lulu Island.
If only more folks of our city and country cared half as much, I can only imagine how much infinitely better off we’d all be.
Instead of serious self-inquiry and a genuine commitment to political change, residents of Richmond, British Columbians and Canadians as a whole are fed a steady diet of mass-media hyperbole, hysteria and lies from those we elect to lead us.
Until more of the masses make a point to read newspapers like the Richmond Newsand then decide to get involved on issues that are important to our collective sanity, I’m deathly afraid, like the astute Mr. Arnold, for the future of this place.
Unfortunately, I’m reminded of a salty old friend who always said, “He who hath the money, honey, calls the tune.
