ALCOHOL
When the Editor of Te Pipiwharauroa asked my to share my thoughts on the consumption of alcohol by people, I agreed, However I did not want to pick a quarrel with or oppose the thoughts of anyone about this drink. There are two sides to every issue. The two sides in contention in this matter are those who condemn and those who approve. At this time I have no desire to quarrel with either side over this matter. So the supporters of those sides should understand that my words do not apply to one side or the other.
