kind of condemnation of apartheid
but it didn't. Apartheid is wrong and
your insensitivity to the situation is
troubling. I don't care if you publish
this or not, please just think about it.

SID EFFECT
Why people rag on Sid Vicious so
much? I didn't know him personally,
but I was listening to the radio the
other day and I called and requested
"My Way" by Sid Vicious. The guy
played the song but after it was over,
he started ragging on Sid. I called
him up and told him that he was a
fascist pig

SUBSCRIPRESCRIPTION
Last year my son Todd and two of
his best friends were in a car acci
dent caused by a drunk driver. One
of my son's friend had his throat
severely cut and was in the hospital
for two weeks. I ordered a subscrip-
tion for Todd and his friend Donnie
Farnell and having the magazine to
look forward to each month helped
get the boys through this situation.
There are different types of medicine,
and your magazine helped.

SOCIETY RAGE
Drive a nail into the coffin of
civilization. Fascism infests and
pollutes our daily lives. We are only
annuluses of their culture, their
system of subserviency. They want

it, and someone has it. The human
beast is locked in on destruction. You
can escape for a while, but the reality
is still there. One thing to remember
is to never stop skating hardcore!

STOKE SCREEN
Are all the letters sent to Mail Drop
screened in order to decide which
ones get published? If so, how long
does the screening process take?

to stop us. They say we're destruc-
tive and unlawful. We are a slap in
their faces. They say we destroy
buildings, while they destroy the
earth, our home, and don't give a
damn. They speak of freedom,
equality, individuality, but their
pandering falls on deaf ears. They
are a machine, a horde, a mass tell-
ing us what to wear, what to hear,
what to do. They try to rule our lives.
Don't let them. In the end they create
it and we skate it. The lust for power
will never stop. We want it, they want

I'm captain of my hockey team. I
hate the sport because I barely ever
ride Rob's ramp anymore. I play
hockey because it looks good when
you apply for college. Is there any-
thing I can do that involves skating
that will look good for college?

Keep skating-if you're rad you'll look
good to the college babes. Ted
