Deconstructing "Special
Interest" Groups

Dear Editor,
Re: "Special-Interest Groups"--letter by Anne Hansen--Jul/15/94--The Globe
and Mail
Anne Hansen attempted to deconstruct "special-interest groups" to a redundant
phrase standing for everybody. A "special-interest" (or pressure) group
is a group of people lobbying government to extort wealth and special powers from
others, i.e., to violate our inalienable individual rights. Word play can't make
them disappear -- only a proper constitution can, one which properly protects individual
rights.
Sincerely,
Glenn Woiceshyn
