As we leap into our faith in a system, I have to ask myself if the climate is one that is conducive to the growth of all the parties involved as a whole, and then I'll add that I'm really saying no because I don't really have all the facts enough to make a positive decision on it. When I have to make a spir of the moment decision, I kinda like to stir the pot, and nothing can be more harmful then moving too fast positively on anything and then wishing that you had made an other determination which its to late to retract.

I also am saying it because I want to stir the pot a little and prove that on either side of the issue, I can show why either side has a position and its only wrong depending on who you are. But let me try to be a little more ruley, and not take up my cross so much that I'm turning over money changers in the church like my boy Christ said to do, like he did.

The decision was to dissolve the claim that there was favoritism being used, and therefore the cause of their being a biased accusation of other applicants, who may have not been able to do as well as expected. The passive side of me would say, well if there is a claim as to how someone else feels about something, no one can tell him if he is feeling descriminated against. Its always contestable and none the less personally yours to consider to the highest degree that you want. But proving it is an entirely different case, as well as getting someone else to believe it enough to go along with you at all costs.

The rough and defense to my position side would say that, the evidence speaks for itself and must be considered ethically, that there may have been a cheat sheet, a class that's not offered to the other applicants, and therefore a cause to show reasonable doubt that there is something not particularly correct with the outcome. So is it incumbent upon the defense to devulge what may be their dark little secret of how they say in the hood, "How you get a record deal", the burden of proof is on the plantiff to get the facts despite the evidence that the fact remains existent.

And to go so far as to say that there was a ruling made that was correct, the answer could very well be yes, but my position of no is because I am sympathetic, and hopeful that taking this stand will make it a point to consider that other people would like to be responsible for the lives of people in fire departments. I mean really, do you want just let's say, a particular person or a mix of it may be anyone who has your life in their hands at a time as such. I'm speaking as someone who wants to see a variety of everything everywhere so don't take offense to my stand, just turn that money changer table over where the oracles of God are not the seeded growth, I'm taking up my cross and following the good side of it all.
