    I would take an honest drunk as a premier (or priminister) before I took a   
   professional bureaucrat crook, liar cheat self serving greedy shyster   
   like --- Dion or Harpo and dozens of others.  Trouble is with lawyers and   
   professional politicians is they spend far too many years on the how to lie   
   to win influence and truth maters little.  In fact, truth is often viewed by   
   these people as a hindrance.  Ultimately makes them pure corrupt and not   
   giving a damn about ordinary average working people.   
      
    Some of the best leaders come from rank and file society and have actually   
   had to work for a living at one point in time or another in their life.   
   John A McDonnald I believe was a drunken average type and so was George   
   Washington.  You can bet their booze wasn't taxed at a rate of 70% and their   
   transportation costs at 50%.   
      
    Ralph was a breath of fresh air to Alberta politics.  He will be sadly   
   missed.  But it is also why Ed won over Tim in Alberta, Tim smelled of   
   inside good buddy and unfortunately Ted was too right wing for some.   
      
    Growing pot to get a good start isn't a bad idea for someone young and not   
   much too loose.  If you get away with it quit and become legit at 1 million.   
   If you get caught, 3 months in jail -- and try again -- society permits it.   
   Lawyers love it, and judges... well it is job security to have and tolerate   
   crime.   
      
    As for spouse beating, I an vehemently against it be it man over women or   
   woman over man... far too many in Canada don't have to work but have the   
   energy to beat their spouses or children.  Maybe the problem is many have   
   too much time on their hands?  Society - including politicians over look   
   this as it is the spouse beater, and beaten persons vote they want and it is   
   less important the morality of it.  I am sure there is a correlation between   
   government assistance and family abuse, not just poverty.   
      
   There are happy drunks, and Ralph was one.  He even married not of his own   
   race, and is not a wife beater.  The wife beating thing was seeded from   
   those corrupt as they were not getting their pig feed at the public trough.   
      
   I would pay $10,000 if all politicians were as half as honest as Ralph   
   is/was.
