If you're Happy - Clap your Muskrat Paws

The biggest tell-tale of a problem is when the happy believers find it necessary to thwart those who want more information and answers.

It is one of the largest red flags of white-collar crime and corporate corruption. Silence the naysayers.

If you are one of the happy ones - content that Muskrat is the best deal - content that NL Hydro is run to perfection - that Kathy Dunderdale is one of our times best minds and that Ed Martin is an energy guru - then good for you. Sit quietly in your content houses and dream of butterflies and lollipops.

There is no reason whatsoever for those who are "onside" to try and dissuade others from being more skeptical, inquiring, or involved in public discourse. There is no reason whatsoever for government members to use words like naysayers, or pessimists, or partisans and/or conspiracy theorists - when speaking about the people they work for. People who want to ask questions and dig deeper into 8-10 billion dollar projects that they and the future generations will pay for.

When government members do that to citizens - it is not for altruistic purposes. It is only for political reasons - in that they do not want to subject themselves to criticism. 

The world is damn well square and don't you question our experts. We will build things to fit a square world and don't be damn partisan and stop progress. Square is the least cost option and we will hear nothing more. We will hire "independent" analysts and tell them to investigate "square" and check to see if the information we provide that resulted in "square" is accurate.

If we remove skepticism and inquiring minds from our world - it would be square.

The mess we are in today should cause more questioning and more skepticism - and right on time like trained seals - the spinners - or happy people appear. If you are happy good for you - let others who want to prevent another Enron or Canary Wharf do their thing.
