Nigel Keane deserves to be promptly pricked by a two-pronged prod in a prominent part of his anatomy. Let all here present note that I am resisting the temptation. It is against my ethics to kick a man when he is down. Even when he is begging for it.LeeAnn Keller takes the time to count the number of times I used the personal pronoun in my letter to suggest I might have an ego.
Let there be no doubt, LeeAnn.
If you show me a practising politician without an ego, I will show you a consummate actor.
George Hervey, Hugo Kroon and Martin Mol offer convoluted dissertations, the meanings of which entirely escape me. Of them all, not one offers a challenge to my contention that ethics are a personal matter.
If a person seeking public office needs to have a document spellling out desirable conduct in a position of trust, then they are clearly lacking in a singularly important attribute needed for the job and should not be elected.
I did say I would confine my communications to my blogging boudoir.
That was then. This is now.
I post a blog several times a week. I thoroughly enjoy doing it. But I miss the broader stage and the footlights the Auroran provides.
Therefore, I have changed my mind.
I will write to my friend the editor whenever I please.
