Belinda: We Have to Wait for Ethics

Thought I would drop over to Belinda's new web digs and see if anything worth reading was yet being offered. I was not disappointed. I share a pearl of political wisdom from Belinda Stronach (my choice for leader of the Liberal Party of Canada):

[...]
Only when the people of Canada have renewed confidence and faith in the systems of government can we return to ethics and civility.
[...]

Forgive me, I am having a bit of a problem with the circularity of this fortifying gibberish. It was the lack of ethics that caused me to lose confidence and faith in our system of government.

Belinda, the ethics come first. Consistently. The confidence and faith will follow.
