I feel disturbed to the realization that greed and power are so
entrenched into our way of life that it appears impossible to change
this way of life for the better. I felt at one time that a different
political party coming to power would bring the needed changes, but
that didn't happen and as a consequence I began to understand that
our social problems were rooted in our wide spread corruption in
politics, in business, everywhere.
This social corruption is so embedded and polished in our way of
life that we can even fall into the trap to feel socially inadequate
because of our own shortcomings. But nobody is perfect, and the
reality is that we all have shortcomings, yet our social leaders
profess to be of utmost professional integrity, they have become our
specialized experts: our gurus, there is no need of democracy
anymore.
It took some ten years for Saskatoon policeman John Popowich to
prove he was wrongly prosecuted in the supposed ritual child sexual
abuse in Martensville in the early 90s, and David Milgaard spent
twenty three years in prison for a murder he didn't commit. Our
Saskatchewan justice system is corrupt, and I laugh when Dr. David
Cassidy uses fraudulent correlation researches to support the No
Fault insurance program of the Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI),
while there is no social scientist in sight conducting studies
correlating the corruption of this government, the corruption of the
Saskatchewan Association of Health Organizations, the corruption of
our educational institutions.
I followed the inept policies of former Economic Development
Minister Janice MacKinnon and now I hear that she has received a
university grant to write a book on her Saskatchewan political
experiences.
Lorie Terry, spokesperson for the Coalition Against No Fault
Insurance, has been working so hard against the fraudulent and
corrupt behaviour of SGI and she is still at work fighting for No
Fault insurance and against the lies of Larry Fogg, president of SGI.
Yesterday I received an e-mail from Timothy Shire, Publisher of
Ensign, and he pointed out that the recent
revelations of SGI's spying on their claimants and SGI's
administrative abuses were already amply documented two years ago in
Ensign and he feels outraged that these
issues are even being discussed today. But I am not outraged by
these spying revelations and administrative abuses as I know that
this province has been 'sapped' and 'sacked' and finally downsized
to greatness by health care emperor Roy Romanow.
Note: The author used the word 'sapping' and
'sacking' as reference to the embracing of the SAP computer systems
and SAIC technologies by the Government of Saskatchewan
