Dear Editor:
I have been reading with interest some of the letters regarding the rainbow crosswalks.
There seems to be some confusion over the way we have differing opinions. It seems as though if someone disagrees with the way their tax dollars are spent, they get labelled as hateful, or witches or I’ve heard Hitlers or Nazis.
I personally really don’t like the look of the new library that my tax dollars have built. Does that make me hateful or a witch?
If we want to address every group that has been persecuted I guess we could try that.
If Jill Thomas is familiar with her Bible, she will know that the Christians have been persecuted for thousands of years. Could we have a few crosswalks with maybe a Jesus fish on them?
How about the Jews? A star of David?
Maybe the taxpayers would be willing to pay for say a dream catcher to symbolize persecution for First Nations painted on a few crosswalks.
How about the Japanese, the Ukrainians, the Chinese?
We could go on and on.
I personally think the Saskatchewan Roughriders are being persecuted this year and I would like to see their emblem on a crosswalk to bolster their “Rider Pride.”
If you would disagree I have to wonder, does that make you a witch?
