s feedback i f0 . „a.. 509 Elmwood Ave. Near Utica I Plastic objectivity This is your chance to be a MODEL for train- ed, experienced advance haircutters. studying advanced techniques. 2 To the Editor: describe us. Just demonstrates that the \scholarly. truly liberal ideas\ you possess of living happily ever after in peace and harmony, is a crock of BULLSHIT! I loved your “beautifulV “righteous” line;... I want them to have Just as much as right to come to this country and be allowed to express their political feelings In a peaceful manner... ”, a lovely thought (you really have a way with words!), but the key words in this quote are; \come to this country”. I can definitely see your rationale; that people must first leave their country—to GAIN enough political freedom—in order THAT they can demonstrate protest I ‘ ‘ . ■ E This letter is in response to Mr. Keet’s (I think it’s | mister?) poor attempt to answer Mr. Lewis’ letter to the * editor. First off Mr. Keet your statement that Dave * Lewis’ letter did not have the backing of other S' Americans can only lead me to one conclusion; you are S totally out of touch with the events that are taking -§ place across this nation. Long before the events in Iran 5 were sensationalized and gobbled up by the press; there was a feeling of hurt and frustration on the part of Americans all across the country. I know because I felt it myself! As Paul Comitz so appropriately put it In his letter to the editor, the situation in Iran “was a kick in the ass” felt by many people across this country. I’m not writing this letter in support of the actions of the Shah (that was clever-l bet you lost sleep nights thinking it up.) or the U.S. with regards to its treatment of the Iranian people. It's documented fact that much persecution occurred and to attempt to support the incident would be irrational. This letter is a response to your psuedo-intellectual ridicule of a nationalism that is reflexive and need be so if a collection of people are to claim UNITY and RESPECT for themselves. In the past decade this country has been through a lot of humiliation in the eyes of the rest of the world—Vietnam, Watergate and Nixon, etc.. I feel what is occurring now Mr. Keet, is that the people of this country-are finally standing up to blatantly declare thaj it's time this country was no longer condemned and denounced for mistakes of the past. Especially by nations whom have performance records that are also far from perfect. It’s one thing ta have protest demonstrations against certain (policies of a government by the citizens of that country and even acceptable to have people of one nation protest against another; I would venture to say even to the extent that the Iranian students went to in taking over the U.S. embassy. But to abuse a priviledge by condemning a nation you are a guest of, from within its borders, and not expect to ruffle a few feathers is an insane thought. But back to you Mr. Keet;. to associate nationalism with Fascists and the Nazi Party is a drastic attempt to sound intelligent and I will leave it at that. As for the audacity you have to put yourself above the average American and the insults you use to DEMO WORKSHOP - Monday, Dec. 3 a $20 value for only $5.00 Call 881-5212 for an appointment against the country they are visiting—in the name of the country they left. Your logic makes as much sense as the sentence I just finished writing! The main point I want to get across to you, Mr. Keet, is that you are as plastic and as phoney as they come! You claim to be able to insulate yourself from the situation and remain objective but all you end up doing is choking on your own non-spiel. You would have not used such “BOLD cliches” like \down on the farm\ and \hlckish\ if you were truly trying to improvethe present situation. Ai| you did was change the names and present the same SUBJECTED OPINIONATED REASONING you were trying to criticize. And what infuriates me the most is that you tried concealing it under the veil of “Intellectualism”. Yes Great-, in an effort to be an Intellectual moralizer and Oh-so liberal; you put yourself right on one of those bar stools down at Jimmy’s Grill. Next time you try being an “Angel of Mercy” for the so-called oppressed people of the world maybe you should think twice. For with friends likeyou who needs enemies. If you think that they need the help of a soul- stirring \intellectual” like yourself; take another look. Mehdi Alimadian, the Iranian Student Assoc. President, letter to the editor was a noble attempt to show the other side of the .story and alldvlate the tense situation. It was neither offensive nor vicious. \HELP” like yours is never really required. Degrading people only causes them to turn against you and leads to greater obstacles. RESPECT for ourselves as a nation and RESPECT for each other among nations is what is needed more than anything in this world! Pete Paooa Don’t always buy generic To the Editor: act was passed are weak and ambiguous at best. You might tell me that brand name drugs are too expensive. I say to you that although a quality generic may cost less, what you get for 1/100 the price of a brand name drug is not quality. In short, you get what you pay for. You might say that if your doctor writes for substitution, then he knows. I say to you pharmacists are in a better position to make whether a drug should be dispensed as the brand or generic. The pharmacist is better educated in these respects than is the physician. Unfortunately more data on therapeutic equivalency Is needed before even the pharmacist can be certain of these decisions. It has been brought to my attention that a NYPtRG publication entitled \When Buy Prescription Drugs\ exists. This pamphlet suggests among many erroneous actions that whenever you get a prescription, have it filled with the least expensive generic available. Such action may be counter productive. You may be wasting your money on an ineffective dosage form. This could lead to a worsening of your original condition or a relaspe due to insufficient absorption from the dosage form. You might think that there are laws governing equivalence between brand names and generic drugs. There are also laws on the speed limit and on nearly everything in our lives. The existence of a law, without sufficient data to make intelligent comparisons protects no one. You might say that there is a N.Y.S. substitution law condoning substitution. I suggest the authors of that act were somewhat naive. The'data on which such an The N.Y.S. substitution law is confounding and inaccurate. Do not ask for the least expensive generic every time you have a prescription filled. Ask instead for the least expensive therapeutically equivalent drug, and ask the pharmicist to guarantee under penalty of malpractice to this effect! S.C.
