It's not entirely clear that Lukiwski himself was the one who retained them. <BR/><BR/>If it was Wall, instead, then he showed poor judgment. Then again, since the tape was simply left behind when he moved, maybe he'd forgotten it even existed. In that case, he showed poor personal organizational skills and kept junk lyin' around beyond its best-before date. Sounds like somebody I know.<BR/><BR/>JBJimBobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04603665575714484326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18681050.post-75313783156692709822008-04-04T10:06:00.001-07:002008-04-04T10:06:00.001-07:00Compare and Contrast if you will.Compare and Contrast if you will.Aeneas the Youngerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18235737108817968315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18681050.post-42649185694157621992008-04-04T10:06:00.000-07:002008-04-04T10:06:00.000-07:00Red: What about keeping the tape?

What does that say about the sincerity of any mea culpa he issues? <BR/><BR/>I think "thinning the ranks" is highly necessary. If that means a whole new slate of MPs and a slew of by-elections, so be it. <BR/><BR/>We must restore some dignity to the House.<BR/><BR/>You know it is a strange world. John Fraser resigned a Minister of Fisheries and Oceans shortly after "Tunagate" reared its ugly head back in 1985.

Maybe not such a bad thing… But seriously, as egregiously bigoted as his comments were and as foolish as the man apparently is, I would say that the electors of his riding should be the ones to decide whether they want this man representing them should he choose to run again in the next election. In the meantime, I’d say we have to take him at his word that his attitudes have changed since 1991. I don’t actually believe that, but in absence of evidence to the contrary, he should be given benefit of the doubt.Red Toryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00422305796158017027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18681050.post-52043968531123886512008-04-04T09:08:00.000-07:002008-04-04T09:08:00.000-07:00I agree with eveything you have stated.

That isn't holding an unpopular opinion on homosexuality as you say, but demonizing a group of people, those "homosexual faggots...who spread disease".<BR/><BR/>It's one thing to believe that a certain group of people are doing something we don't like. Roman Catholics disapprove of those who use birth control and get divorced. Muslims and Baptists disapprove of the consumption of alcohol. We all deal with people whose actions we may have moral problems with. That is part of life in a diverse society.<BR/><BR/>But it's quite another when you demonize a whole subset of the population, including those in your constituency. The flaw here is a reductionist thinking that all people are is what they do in the bedroom.toujoursdanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08106158181662408311noreply@blogger.com
