There is danger in reckless change, but greater danger in blind conservatism (Henry George)

Henry George was a famous American journalist and economist in the 19th century.  I read about him around the same time as our premier, Pallister, announced he was not going to seek office in the next election.

Ding dong the witch is dead.  Which old witch?

I think you know which witch of which I speak.

Pallister and his iron fist are no longer a threat.  Now, we can fight Bill 64 (education reform???) without his reckless interference.  He conjured up a bill that would have completely revamped education in Manitoba and, he manufactured it without regard to majority input.

Perhaps the education system needs change, but Bill 64 would have only created more problems. To effect change, we should not rush into a plan like that proposed by the premier which seemingly was centered upon CONTROL.  We must take our time with public input and input by the experts....the educators.

Some British politician said something to the effect that conservatism does not trust the people and that distrust is tempered by fear. 

Rise up people.  You have nothing to fear but "fear itself" and isn't it good to talk about something other than PD.
