For Mr. Bradley Roberts' benefit I will repeat what has been said before; if everyone around you thinks you are a moron, do not open your mouth and thereby prove it! A couple of weeks ago when I heard the honourable leader of the Opposition in the House state that he had to vote against the current Stem Cell Research Bill, I did not hear him say that he was against the research, what I did hear him say was he felt there was not adequate oversight to regulate that research therefore, he was unable to support the Bill as written. Mr. Roberts those things on the side of your head are not there only to hang your reading glasses on, if you clean them out you can hear with them as well!!
Ohh, and surely Mr. Roberts is the very last person from the PLP side to question the House ethics of anyone.
I think he is truly well past his "sell-by" date,

Ethics in government, who are we trying to fool here?? I doubt that a single Member of Parliament knows the derivation and meaning of the word, ethics something we often talk about but few have any meaningful understanding..
Ethics is the study and application of moral standards and how they affect the behavior and conduct of groups and individuals.. As a study, ethics are based on an underlying philosophy or set of values which becomes the standard for principled judgement.. What is often forgotten is that values and standards change over time, and as this happens the application of moral behavior by individuals and groups changes as well..
In judging Parliament, the standards of what once were are not the standards of what exists today.. Nevertheless, the increased corruption and social degeneration that is taking hold in our country cannot be denied as it has become an ongoing occurrence.. This raises the perplexing question of how our moral standards as a nation have changed and how our perception of ethical behavior have also changed.. Care must be exercised when one accuses another of lacking ethics in behavior and/or thought.. For in the final analysis we must not forget that the only real moral standard is the foundation of truth.. VERITAS
