Comment: I appreciate the author's cool recitation of facts. I'm appalled so many of my fellow citizens seem unsympathetic. As I read the comments in these pages I feel I am being taken back to a time in the middle ages when mob rule was more prevalent. What is this NONSENSE about Canadians being generally civilized? You wouldn't know it from the comments in these pages. Look at the statistics on the side of utter savagery.
