Leftist "Thinking
(3 short letters)
by Glenn Woiceshyn
Published in the Globe and Mail (pg. B2) on Oct 3, 1996.
Dear Editor,
Re: Letter--by Amod Lele--Sep/30/96--The Globe and Mail
Amod Lele claims that the higher car prices caused by coercive unions is a "win-win
situation" because: 1) auto workers get paid more, and 2) fewer people can afford
those enemies of pristine nature--"private automobiles." Can you guess
who will be forced to pay for this double victory?
This is the kind of compartmentalized "thinking" responsible for our current
political and economic woes. It amounts to sacrificing the rights (and prosperity)
of individuals to the demands of whatever "special-interest" group screams
the loudest, manufactures the most lies and wields the most political clout.
Sincerely,
Glenn Woiceshyn

Dear Editor,
Re: "The Illogical Left And The Logic Of Debt--by Peter Cook--Mar/02/95--The
Globe and Mail
As Peter Cook rightly observes, left-wing logic is absurd. But it was absurd decades
ago before it plundered this nation's wealth and caused so much social upheaval.
It was Ayn Rand who, decades ago, debunked the logic of the left in her prophetic
bestseller Atlas Shrugged. Certain people hate that fact, but it's true.
Sincerely,
Glenn Woiceshyn

Dear Editor,
Re: "An American View"--by Fred Bruning--Mar/20/95--Maclean's Magazine
In his so-called "In Defense Of Affirmative Action," Fred Bruning employed
several illogical devices in order to evade the fundamental issues. How, in principle,
does the racism underlying affirmative action solve the problem of racism? How does
the blatant violation of individual rights achieve social justice?
Sincerely,
Glenn Woiceshyn
