These two facts don't add up nearly as neatly as your letter of April 7 would have us believe. If you check out the statistics on rape, you’ll find that women raping women is not the problem. Your point about whether or not the shuttle-van should bo available to both men and women could have been a valid contribution to the debate. In stead you turned it into an at tack on the gay community, refering to gays as "queers” and feeding the homophobic: fear that lesbians and gay men are forever on the prowl for sweet young things; (to paraphrase your words). You express a concern for the safety of “s.weet little girl(s)" and /''innocent women." casting heterosexual women in the role of passive victims Of lesbian lust; Your assertions that these '"innocents”, are in danger from lesbian women borders on the absurd — many of these women have worked tirelessly over the years to end the very crime that you accuse them of. .... As.women,, lesbians face the .fear and threat of rape the same as heterosexual women. The shuttle-van service is but one example of women actively • seeking solutions to protect, themselves from a violent crime. Don’t-thfow stones! .

We blindly accept »hai the chemical producers have our best interests in mind as they produce wide assortments of chemicals for personal and in dustrial consumption. There are pesticides, cleaners, detergents, paints, dyes etc., which are made of a wide variety of drugs. Where do these chemicals end up when they are washed down our drains? Out of sight, out of mind? What are the effects.off-all these compounds combined, in our environment?
