For the better part of the campaign - if there has been a better part - our Prime Minister Paul Martin has avoided discussing the issues. His has deflected criticism, blame, and has painted his main political rivals as neo-conservatives bent on a facist-type of government. He has pulled the big FEAR card out of his deck of political manuveres hopefully for the last time.
Some fear quotes just in case Paul needs some different material...
A boss creates fear, a leader confidence. A boss fixes blame, a leader corrects mistakes. A boss knows all, a leader asks questions. A boss makes work drudgery, a leader makes it interesting. A boss is interested in himself or herself, a leader is interested in the group.
- Russell H. Ewing
Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others.
- Robert Louis Stevenson
We will not walk in fear, one of another. We are not descended from fearful men, not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate and to defend causes which were for the moment unpopular. This is no time . . . to keep silent.
- Edward R. Murrow
