My mind is assaulted by an image of the school-yard bully taking advantage of those who will not defend them­ selves. The bounds of parliamen­ tary procedure seem bootless considering the obnoxious methods the feds have used in ram­ ming this thinly disguised head tax down our throats. I read the dismal news that our nations women's centers are losing badly needed funding. It is hard to understand the insensitive attitude behind removing a relatively small sum from such a worthy cause. 1 would take extreme satisfaction in searching out those responsible and eliminating their political ambi­ tions through concentrated, long term public condemnation. I wonder how we tolerate these con­ tinual inequalities visited upon by our social system. Politicians ap­ pear to be growing bolder as they pour out an ever increasing rain of tax rip-offs, budget freezes and empty promises. Perhaps we have forgotten, or are unaware, that we hold a valu­ able trump card in this game. We have become a population full of apathy, consigned to a fate of let­ ting the few control the many. Each of us, as adults, has the power to vote. No one person, no matter how rich or waxen fat, can cat more than a single ballot per election. Al­ though it may be too late to do anything about the latest drubbing levelled upon us by the political element, we can remember them! Like the African Elephant, reputed to have a long and vindictive memory, we can ftle these offenses away for future retribution. Movies tell us the only way to quench the insatiable blood-lust of a vampire lies in driving a stake through the creature's heart during the light of day. In like manner, it may be profitable for us to exercise some democratic rights by van­ quishing a few of our own night­ stalking political leeches from the bright lights of political office. Committed blocks of voters may not appear powerful to the ordinary citizen, but they strike fear and un­ certainty in the hearts of elected officials.
