"What effect must it have on a nation if it learns no foreign languages? Probably much the same as that which a total withdrawal from society has upon an individual." --G.C. Lichtenberg
Does anybody out there ever recall hearing anything like this?
Q Mr. Mayor, how confident are you the investigation will find the multiple-reckless-endangerment perpetrator in your administration?
THE MAYOR: Randy, you tell me, how many people have you seen who've recklessly endangered the lives of others that you've exposed or have been exposed? Probably none. I mean this town is a -- is a town full of people who like to recklessly endanger the lives of others. And I don't know if we're going to find out the reckless endangerer in my administration. Now, this is a large city, and there's a lot of senior officials. I don't have any idea. I'd like to. I want to know the truth. That's why I've instructed this staff of mine to cooperate fully with the investigators -- full disclosure, everything we know the investigators will find out. I have no idea whether we'll find out who the felon is -- partially because, in all due respect to your profession, you do a very good job of protecting the perpetrators of felony reckless endangerment. But we'll find out.
Yes, I know the crime of the leaker isn't specifically reckless endangerment, but it amounts to the same thing to a city without its own CIA. posted by David at 10/08/2003 12:19:00 PM ::
