As for putting it on the table at a conference, where and how would you prefer it be stated? Or is it more desirable that it never be stated yet continually cleverly bandied about? Tact is vital to leadership but so too are guts and nuts. The right is continually painted into false corners. Screw it. Some times - and knowing when those times are is obviously key - the gloves have to come off and after the gutless performances turned in over the last few years, if not now, when? If not that way then how? A non-binding resolution perhaps? Would love to have a Churchill at the moment to hear the message said well and see them done but I'll settle for having them well done.

The reason he gets away with "stones" is because males are not a protected group under the by-laws of the PC bible.
