Those people don't have high mort- gage rates, high interest rates. They have nothing. except what native cunning and hard work feed their bellies. Does a nice lady in Somaliland or Eritrea bring you into the office and chat about which welfare program you should apply for? Your children are eating mud. because there's, nothing else. Aren't you sick to death of the gloom and doom the media is imposing on us? l am. Let's have a little light and cheer in the country for a change. Sure. our economic situation is a mess. Of course, we have high unemployment. Naturally, inflation is not wrestled to the ground. but has us pinned two rounds out of three. But this is happening all over the world, and we're about 500 per cent better off than most of the rest of the people in said world. But there will be no lasting effect to this blatant appeal for political patronage. Odious as it may appear, it is a tried and true aspect of the game, and believe it, mighty rare is the individual in any walk of life, be it politics, the media, or the shipping dock of the warehouse around the corner, who at some time or another has not taken up on advantages of his/her position. of significant note was the general lack of indignation on the part of local politicians, lest their casting of stones go on record and return in the future to haunt them. _ The best entertainment though came from the various reactions to Morley's actions. Naturally, Opposition MPPs at Queen's Park seized the issue with the vigor of a puppy tugging at a pant leg. demanding a full inquiry into the affair. Across the floor Davis reacted with his typical "Doet't shoot me, I'm only the piano player" posture. and as it turned out. Morley was left essentially on his own to douse the names. Not an easy task, considering the untimely leak of the letter days after Rosenberg had been awarded a $60,000 a year job with the Ontario Municipal Board. There's no question Morley was morally wrong in his actions, but the discovery of, and subsequent humiliation caused by his impropriety will serve as sufficient punishment. Far from downplaying the seriousness of Rosenberg's actions. nevertheless it must have provided great comic relief for Morley’s antagonists to watch him squirm through a retraction late last week. Actually, it bordered on pathos watching the admittedly-brilliant man with the achilles heel tendency to cast himself in the role of village idiot trying to extricate himself as well as the Progressive Conservatives from the self-spun web. Now go to the OMB as you rightfully should, Morley, but tor gosh sakes from now on remember the old adage: "say it with flowers, say it with mink, but whatever you do. don't say it in ink." What's the difference between Richard Nixon and Morley Rosenberg? Yuk, yuk. ty That's right. About to years ... The now~famous letter incident involving the Kitchener mayor last week and the Ontario govemment's supposed "promise" to dump a provincial judgeship in his lap was Just further proof that a crime rests not in the doing, but thet in getting caught lies the undoing. The entire loofaraw, once the initial beans were spilled by the leaking of Rosenberg's letter to a Toronto newspaper, maintained all the drama and intrigue of trying to gauge which major intersection will be the next to be tied up by local road crews at lunch hour.

Well, that's the capitalist system, and that's the system we embrace. We don't hear much when the farmers have a bumper crop and spend the winter driving south in their Buicks. We seldom hear about the small businessman who's making a quiet fortune, unless he's suddenly become an entrepreneur and is a BIG businessman. We scarcely hear a word when a huge company makes a huge profit. When is the last time somebody pounded on your door at 4 a.m. and you shivered with fear. knowing what was coming?
