All The King's Men
One o...Robert Penn Warren. All The King's Men<br /><br />One of my favorite novels. Note that Willie Loman (the Huey Long of the novel) gets his career into gear by losing an election based on coming out against a new school being built in his district; he has information that the school is being built using totally inferior materials. When the school collapses, and kids die, he wins the next election ans his career skyrockets.<br /><br />People love their kids, Christy. Never forget that.<br /><br />MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-79318036045064709552016-04-20T16:40:26.402-07:002016-04-20T16:40:26.402-07:00Let us imagine an earthquake occurs and a school c...Let us imagine an earthquake occurs and a school collapses, burying scores of children.<br /><br />If it is known the structure was classified as high-risk due to seismic deficiencies, but safety upgrades were deliberately not conducted because the school was less than 95% occupied, would that increase or decrease legal liability? The question would undoubtedly be tested in court.<br /><br />Moral liability would be much more obvious.<br />Lewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-47970889389268579092016-04-20T15:35:23.429-07:002016-04-20T15:35:23.429-07:00Something else that one Alberta School Board is do...Something else that one Alberta School Board is doing " The Edmonton Public School Board is asking the province to phase out public funding for private schools in Alberta."<br /><br />Can you imagine how that would be received by Christy ? And on another note I read Christy flew up to Fort St. John today to attend the " Yes for LNG " rally. BC taxpayers are a generous bunch. That's like donating to the Liberal party whether you want to or not.<br /><br />Guy in VictoriaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-60737125810192681622016-04-20T15:14:27.654-07:002016-04-20T15:14:27.654-07:00knee jerk reaction here RossK ... but if a school...knee jerk reaction here RossK ... but if a school is 94% full, and is therefore not eligible for seismic upgrading, and there is an earthquake resulting in 100% fatalities ... of those 94% students, and teachers, and supporting staff, Christy Clark and her Minister of Education can walk away and say NOT OUR FAULT!!!!North Van's Grumpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17571810726275726952noreply@blogger.com
