RELIGION, POLITICS AND… HUMAN NATURE
Politics may be a factor in the support and legislation of Bill 62 in Quebec, but it is, obviously, an intervening variable in this equation.  The independent variable is human nature – the great majority of the citizens of Quebec, who feel uneasy, uncomfortable and… probably fearful, when faced with a number of fellow humans covered, from… head to toe, by black garments.  The miniscule number of these… strange shadows is immaterial – the psychological ghosts do not need to be numerous to terrorise some people.  We should also keep in mind that the Quebecois have just managed to free themselves from the fangs of the Catholic Church.  Thus, asking them now to make peace with other religions, we may be asking them for… too much.  Thank you.  A. C.
