.An open letter tb The election is now over and the citizens have stated their views in a democratic manner. Having read your views and opinions in the Waterloo Chronicle of Ocâ€" tober 14, 1971, I must conâ€" fess that I was not in aeâ€" cord with them and thereâ€" fore did not support you at the polls. It is apparent that the vast majority of those who voted were also not in agreement with your views. it may not be of any interâ€" est to you, but the following are exerpts from your stateâ€" ment to the Chronicle, and my personal reactions to them. Mr. John Koop You are 23 years of age, a graduate of the Univerâ€" sity of Waterloo, yet you have been unemployed since June. Further, your only past work record appears to be that of a part time bus driver for the county of Waterloo school sysâ€" tem. As a candidate for public office your record did not fill me with confiâ€" dence in your abilities. If living, how can you be exâ€" pected to be aware of the daily problems of those millions of us who work every day? and Science Fiction; 19th Series, edited by Edward Ferman, contains a wide range of imaginative and unusual stories by all the great names in Science Ficâ€" Sir: m (E 5 D 5‘)& C \./f.". _ _ Y We Rent Most Everything nFOnmaATiON & rates CALL US AT 125 UNION ST.

With this I am with you 100%. I too wish the Government would stop putting up new buildâ€" ings for education as they are costing me too much in taxes. As to the waste inâ€" volved with education, I would like to see it reduced drastically, . particularly when people such as you waste their time and my money having a good time at University, and emerge so unqualified for anyâ€" thing that they are unsuited to work at anything proâ€" ductive, or support themâ€" selves.

Let me ask you, Who paid for your care as a child? Who paid for your educaâ€" tion as a child? Who paid for the schools you attendâ€" ed? Who paid for the inâ€" structors and other staff? Who paid for the buildings, and the staff at the Uniâ€" versity that you attended? Last but certainly not least, who is paying your way at this time while you are idle? It is my contention that you owe all Canadians a debt you can never repay, nor do we expect you to pay it. What we do expect your views on life in generâ€" al. Since you were conceivâ€" ed you haye been a parasite on society, taking from it and giving little or nothing in return. This is to be exâ€" pected, and is acceptable to society up to a point but, when as an adult, you conâ€" tinue to lead a parasidic exâ€" istance, and expect society to support you, still giving nothing in return, then you forfeit the right to expect public support for any ofâ€" fice, or indeed for your daily sustenance. IHf each of us felt as you do and were to join you in your idleâ€" ness, who would supply the financial resources necesâ€" sary for our support.
