Paranoiac, it's not asking questions that I have a problem with. It's getting answers.(truthful, honest answers) Also, there is the problem of hearing a bald faced lie, & not getting upset with the person who imparts that to you. That is Difficult!
And then there are the situations when you wake up, go outside & 'There it is' or maybe 'There it isn't anymore'.
What is the point of asking questions after the fact, except maybe, "Why did you choose to do that?" or-" Why was information not available about this before it happened?"
(...and then we are back to getting a truthful, honest answer from somebody (on all levels of Government in this area) who doesn't have a worry in the world about getting re-elected, no matter what they do or don't do.)
A number of regular contributors to RTH have been unfairly criticized because they are not employed in a high pressure, professional, highly paid occupation.
I think they serve their community in an outstanding fashion here @ RTH, & in activism in the community. We need these people, because most of us cannot deal with that kind of dedication to a dream, the frustrations, & the dogged persistence required to know who to call & ask questions about a 100 topics. There are not enough hours in the day, or enough personal satisfaction for most of us to live that kind of life every day.
I have no desire to beat my head against the brick wall of Hamilton governance for an extended period, & I'm sure that's what many politicians count on. Creeping Apathy.
I will stand up for things that mean a lot to me, but the endless morass of 'who is in charge of what',& the buck passing, & the run-around really wears people out. (& I'm sure that's the desired effect!)
