    Just because something is legal does not make it right, there is no satisfactory reason to explain why it was required. Scamo just has an unquenchable thirst for power, even though he has no idea what to do with it when he has it.

    Jacka, what I expect is leadership by example.  What I expect, is that politicians have the balls to do what is right, not what they think they can get away with. I expect voters to see these people for what they are and punish them at the ballot box. 

    Politicians behave badly because we let them get away with it.

    So, if you were making $100,000 over 20 years ago,  you should still be making $100,000 today?  Even though you could buy a decent house for $200K in the 90’s.

    Oh my goodness, he truely is the son of Trump. But the really disturbing thing, is that his party stood by and let him do it.

    What he put in place was very close to a first step to a Dictatorship.  Why would it be a good idea to have one person in control of three or four portfolios that could change the course of our country by virtue of the opinions of one person.

    We do indeed need  thorough investigation of this man and his party’s activities over the last two terms of government.  Maybe we need to search his home for sensitive documents that he may have taken home for a bit of personal insurance.

    Yes we are, and it will make for a better world.  Most religions seem to be centred around hate and entitlement, with a shot of self serving hypocracy mixed in. 

    Most of us can instinctively judge good from bad, we are taught it,  if we are lucky, by mentors as we grow up.  Why do we need thousands of pages of instructions to teach us what is instinctive to most of us?  I am content to use the laws of the land as my instruction manual as to how I should structure my interaction with my fellow humans.

    Spiritualism over religion of any kind for me.

    The Bible was invented by, and written by men, they wanted a way to control the masses and enrich themselves.
