"When you begin to think outside the box, you often become some other "leaders" lousy follower. That usually costs something" (Andy Rayner)

"Our guardian angels are bored." (Mike Foster)

It's where I feel I'm at these days. “In the second half of life, it is good just to be a part of the general dance. We do not have to stand out, make defining moves, or be better than anyone else on the dance floor. Life is more participatory than assertive, and there is no need for strong or further self-definition” (Falling Upward. Richard Rohr.120).

Canada & RCMP Woefully Ignorant Of Terrorism And International Threats.

"This book is not the place to engage more broadly the current and recurring woes of the RCMP. Suffice it to say that any suggestion it is an organization suffering a deep leadership crisis and in need of radical repair, and a fundamental re-examination of its mandate, would meet with my hearty agreement. The thought that these posturing naïfs are the locus of knowledge and expertise regarding international kidnappings and are responsible within the Canadian government for managing and negotiating complex international hostage crises, to say nothing of playing an essential part in countering terrorist threats to Canada, simply chills the soul. They are not, in my view, up to such tasks, and the sooner the government comes to understand this stark reality the better it will be for all Canadians."
(Robert Fowler. A Season In Hell: My 130 Days In The Sahara With All Qaeda)
