"The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently." - Friedrich Nietzsche

"It is said that power corrupts, but actually it's more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power." David Brin

It's telling that while some other board members had "petty complaints" about the location, it appears that they all went. In other words, they might have had some reservations about goind out-of-state for the "retreat," but they didn't cancel their reservations. A free vacation is a free vacation.

Yep, "petty remarks" Robin Robinson sure didn't mind having someone else watch the chicken factory while she booked it to Alabama, did she? One question - how many IHL members are there? I assume there are less than 15, which means each person is "retreating" for more than $1000 tax dollars/person. I hope those bums are enjoying the fried shrimp and golf while they, uh, reflect on the bad jobs they are doing....
