ANOTHER VOLUNTEER FOR REV. EDDIE'S JURY

I read the article about our "busted politician." (Nunatsiaq News,
July 28)

I get the impression that Rev. Eddy is more interested in paying the
tax man $10,000 a month than he is in healing the community of its
troubles. On top of that, Reverend Eddy, you certainly are not living
a life of poverty.

You do not appear to be struggling too much, whereas your "patients"
send their kids to school with empty stomachs. How can you say you
want to heal communities, knowing fully that you are taking a family's
income, child tax, and art work in return for a high. People sell
everything they own, even their welfare purchases to be "healed" by
you.

Wherever you came from, marijuana may be used socially, but here in
our community and others it is abused. You are not healing our
community, you are adding to its destruction.

In this article, you are quoted "they are all potheads," referring to
the people of Igloolik. If that is the kind of respect you have for
us, then take your quack ministry and practice back to your land of
make-believe and let us heal our community in a more sensible way.

I am another who would be willing to accept jury duty on your
trafficking case, and don't worry, there are more of us out there than
you think.

I would like to sign this, but with threats that have been made
against those in town who interfere with the drug culture here, that
is impossible.
