Pompous windbags always find a way to humiliate themselves further (especially those of the 'Conservative persuasion').Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-29244840887837690952014-02-02T07:29:38.708-05:002014-02-02T07:29:38.708-05:00hi Ross...you're right it does seem a bit unfa...hi Ross...you're right it does seem a bit unfair.

I feel I owe it to my readers for having the nerve to suggest that they should read what I have to say about anything.

And in that world screwing the poor isn't a crime. As I said in my piece, I don't get any pleasure from the man's downfall, he's a character and definitely more interesting than most members of our boring and totally incompetent business class. But I've always felt his character was tragically flawed. For what can explain that a rich boy would get himself expelled from Upper Canada College for SELLING examination papers when he didn't need the money? It makes no sense. And even if I was dirt poor, I could NEVER even think about doing something like that...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-27367607199840021232014-02-01T17:46:15.587-05:002014-02-01T17:46:15.587-05:00Conrad allegedly destroyed Massey Ferguson and Dom...Conrad allegedly destroyed Massey Ferguson and Dominon, alledgetlyStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14162783936999869984noreply@blogger.com
