B2 -The Canadian Champion, Friday, July 08, 2005 Complaints- where would we be without them? Okay, su maybe that sîupid backwards sign at the Milton Sports Centre makes me crazy, but l'm getting tberapy for it. I like complaints, which is wby the first place I tum to when I get this newspaper is the letters section. Occasionally, a tbank you will slip in there, usually from a fundraising event, but 1 skip right over those because they're no fun. Maybe it bas sometbing to do witb enjoying otber people's mis- ery. I'm boping that's flot aIl it is and that it's flot just me wbo likes that kind of tbing because then I'd bave to wonder more about myseif, and the sign therapy is already too expensive. Somebody in Tuesday's Champion complained about the lack of opinion coming from the newspaper on issues affecting Milton - a complaint about the lack of complaining, in other words. I know from expenience tbat wben I complaîn about sometbing serious in this columa, people tend to complain about me. So do it yourself. Write a letter. It seems to me you're doing a fine job, Few issues go uncballenged. And if tbere's anytbing more lu that red wagon story, keep it coming. Peuple are uniikeiy to make the effort to writ newspaper unleis it's someîhing ihaî's boihering t or if sometbing gues bad ihat was good in thse firs Let me tbink of an exampie. Okay, every îim Mark Curtis sing, wbich bas been ai the upening o this summer, or ai thse Marauders football games, 1 he can really belt il oui. Now Playing at Mohawk Yuk-YukL.'s& Comedy Nights!
