"Cowardice asks the question...is it safe? Expediency asks the question...is it politic? Vanity asks the question...is it popular? But conscience asks the question...is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right." ~Dr. Martin Luther King

The Patience Of Job Merits Biblical Reference

You're obviously not a disciple of Dale Carnegie.

Jesus Christ himself lost his temper and upended the tables of the money-changers in the temple.

I do not profess to  saintly qualities . I'm a politician, for Christ's Sake .

The best of us run out of patience . I'm better than I used to be.

Andrew Carnegie I am familiar with. I believe Dale Carnegie was a proponent of the theory of how to win friends and influence enemies.

There were ten years in Aurora's politics when that  did not present itself as a solution to the problem.

Still doesn't . Although the crisis is surely past.

The Carnegie book is right up there with Joyce's Ulysses are epics that people have heard about but seldom read. Me included so I'm not playing superior. I still recall as a first time mom being given Dr. Spock's Baby Care book by my mother-in-law. It was about the first unread book in our home, made a great door-stop for years.

Now he says he did not review them or find them comparable to other Sask. Senators.

Me, I truly enjoy seeing those on high perches fall along with their entitlements. We have a bunch here who will argue that the Senate would be totally clean if only they had a Code of Conduct. You will never be able to legislate adult behaviour with a piece of paper. Time to grow up.
