“ O nly very tough.” The second guy, w h o had fe lt up the elephant’ s leg,

(fo r A m erica).” The third guy, who had walked into and his head stuck up the elephant’ s ass [sic] unfortu­ nately, yells, “ Y o u ’ re both w ron g!

This elephant is pure shit!”

W ell, which blind guy is right?

T h e moral o f the story is they’ re all correct. It depends on how you look at things. T h e problem is that the last g u y ’ s op in ion dom inates o v e r the other two. This is the case at M cG ill.

Sometimes I read an editorial in

Daily or the Tribune where someone d e c id e s to take a shot at c o n s e r­ vatism . C om m ents like, “ W e must not allow the neoconservative m ove­ ment to expand” or “ W e must not be lik e ou r c o n s e r v a t iv e A m e r ic a n cousins” , are rampant and I ’ m left s c ra tc h in g

“ And?” Th ey label people as conser­

standing the possible virtues o f con­ servatism, these writers have spent too much time up the elephant’ s ass.

O f course, th ey are g o in g to fin d shit. W hen they finally get their head out, their vision is so clouded with crap that they m ay s im p ly m isattribute con servatism to ignoran ce and v ie w any v irtu e in v o lv e d as being malignant.

I don’ t see any articles pointing out the evils o f liberals. Then again I wouldn’ t want to stick m y head up a d o n k e y ’ s (A m e ric a n sym b ol fo r a lib eral) ass and be at the receivin g end o f a kickback. It’ s real easy to ridicule a line o f thinking when it’ s in the minority.

I find it humorous when people are threatened by the fact that there m a y b e m o re c o n s e r v a t iv e s ou t there. A w w w w , d o they fe e l their p o w e r threatened e s p e c ia lly when the conservative m ovem ent actually organises itself? In this w orld d iffer­ ent people think differently and once one criticises another it becom es a grudge match.

A s tem pting as it is to question the m otives o f the ‘ Y E S ’ side, at least they played by the referendum rules. T h e Daily knew that by staging its October 24 demonstration, during the referendum period, that it could forfeit the w hole thing.

For those w h o appreciate the existence o f the Daily , the most unfor­ tunate aspect o f its referendum behaviour is that the paper did not defend itself fo r what it is: a publication with an editorial slant. It seeks to p rivi­ lege the point o f v ie w o f traditionally under-representative groups. Som e w ill agree with this goal, others not. H ow ever, i f Daily editors are not w illin g to defend this aspect o f their paper, one wonders how deeply they believe in their apparent ideals. Fight fo r what you believe, not fo r what
