Monymoe's suggestions as to reasonable behaviour remind me of a project manager here who could not see that denying payments due to people who had completed their work on bogus technicalities was basically theft. His reasoning was that as no money went into his own pocket no theft was involved despite the serious costs in banking terms these delays cost the unfortunates! Suggest that Monymoe returns to Canada and spends some time absorbing the culture of his adopted country where fair play, adapted from centuries of English common law, has evolved a system of people identifying where the right course of action should be. This has been eroded from the Reagan/Thatcher era but is coming back. People have an innate judgemental ability about what is fair, unfortunately people who cannot understand that society is not functional without the acceptance of common standards will not learn unless they live in one of the many many states failing their own citizens by adopting tax policies favoring the super-rich. Do I really have to give examples of such failing states?
