Posted by Kevin Bates In one bland sentence Mr Ruddock dismisses this effort as too expensive and impractical and he thinks that this is a sufficient reply! The arrogance of his position is deepens with each of his utterances to the point where even his own family members have taken flight rather than wear the shame of sharing his name. Wouldn't it be a great thing for our nation if we could engage each other in dialogue around these issues rather than simply reacting to points of view that differ from our own. I think perhaps that such a dialogue belongs in dreamland at the moment.
