Not in ANY Neighbourhood!


And speaking of selfishness, intolerance and shopping carts...

The quote of the week belongs to woman named Chreryl Clausen, who has paid a lot of money for her little square box in the sky near 7th and Pine.

Cheryl doesn't want the MPA Society to have a drop-in centre near her. MPA used to be called the Mental Patients Association, but it is now the Motivation, Power and Achievement Society.

But Cheryl, in her infinite wisdom, is a universalist.

Not content to lobby against anyone but the hoi poloi living near her, she adds,

"That drop-in centre shouldn't be in anyone's neighbourhood."

Now there's a thinker and a democrat.

Where, we might ask the kind and lovely home owner, should drop-in centres be? On the Trans-Canada Highway? At the PNE? Manning Park?
