When I had a real job, as a journalist, if I was told to do something I wasn't sure was the best way to tackle the story, I would say so. Maybe perhaps that's why I don't have a real job anymore. I don't think that folk realised that what I was doing was actually a sign of respect. There is no point engaging in a discussion with a complete idiot. They won't change their minds. I never tried it with the pair whom I considered the two biggest clowns at the Edmonton Sun. In way there no point because their far more sensible deputies would do the common sense thing anyway after the clowns went home at the end of their shift. But it's a shame that some of those deputies didn't realise that discussion was a sign of respect.
