Observations

One of our older readers often observes in her letters, "-----doesn't agree with all you say and as you know neither do I." This is said as though an apology were necessary, for not agreeing with me. Others have described the thoughts set forth in my Virgin Views columns as "lectures".

Everyone is entitled to their opinion of course, but I must admit to being a little discouraged by these two attitudes. I dont care if you disagree with me or not, but I wish those that did would have the ambition and courage to set forth their ideas in a printable article. One of the frustrating things I have to deal with is the lack of feedback. From the small amount that does come in one yould think that most of you did agree with me. If so that is very fine, but if not for heavens sake say so--let's have a little dialogue here. This subject is certainly broad enough (pun intended) and deep enough to pro- vide the material. So make with the pen or the type- writer and lets make TVia more of an open forum. You write, I'll print.

Even the matter of the cover on #40 brought forth only three comments and they were very short and .not very enlightening. What is your feeling about a non- photographic front once in a while? Did you under- stand and agree with the sybolism of the drawing? Lets hear!

And about those "lectures". I just pour out thoughts that I think are worth meditating on a bit. Meditate and agree or meditate and disagree, but let's hear the results of your meditation. Surely of all the subjects I've written about the one in this issue ought to get some controvercy going because I've heard bits and pieces on the subject before. But let's get something going from reader to editor not just the

reverse.
