As I prepare to return to my home country, I consider all options available to me there. This one crossed my desktop. As I come from a land of opportunity, maybe this is where I should be looking. I have had a great deal of experience in points made in numbers 4, 5 & 6 as I have been working with government for a few years.
The tribal wisdom of the Plains Indians, passed
on from generation to generation, says that:
"When you discover that you are riding a
dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount."
However, in government more advanced strategies
are often employed, such as:
1. Buying a stronger whip.
2. Changing riders.
3. Appointing a committee to study the horse.
4. Arranging to visit other countries to see how
other cultures ride dead horses.
5. Lowering the standards so that dead horses can
be included.
6. Reclassifying the dead horse as living-impaired.
7. Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead
horse.
8. Harnessing several dead horses together to
increase speed.
9. Providing additional funding and/or training
to increase the dead horse's performance.
10. Doing a productivity study to see if lighter
riders would improve the dead horse's performance.
11. Declaring that as the dead horse does not
have to be fed, it is less costly, carries lower overhead and therefore
contributes substantially more to the bottom line of the economy than do some
other horses.
12. Rewriting the expected performance
requirements for all horses.
And, of course...
13, Promoting the dead horse to a
supervisory position.
All the above are logical reasons why we still
have a Canadian Senate.
