Self-Exception From the Rules

The chief privilege of the privileged class is that,
they are able to self-except themselves and each other
from accountability to the rules.

We should be talking about why we are tolerating it.

In particular, why should we have to tolerate self-exception by our servants?

Or are public servants not servant?

The terms of public in-servitude are the prerogative of the public; and not of the public servant.

A full scale forensic audit of the public interests in the APS,
is in the public interest.

And the people who are obfuscating the audit
are doing so in their own self interest
and against the public interest.


They are only getting away with it because they are able to keep it secret.

They couldn't get away with it ,with out the aid and abet
of Charlie Moore and the Albuquerque Journal.

And the Trib, and all the other media.

School Board President Paula Maes is the President of the New Mexico Broadcasters Association. Does that give her enough juice to control the media?

Are they just helping out of their own accord?

Is this the privileged class covering each other's asses?

Have they agreed that they cannot permit annual accountability audits of public servants?

Have they agreed among themselves not to tolerate public discourse on the subject of holding public servants honestly accountable to meaningful standards of conduct and competence?

As a matter of privilege, they need not explain, defend, or even acknowledge their position, in opposition to accountability audits and other forms of honest accountability to meaningful standards of conduct and competence.


Stonewalling. It is what you do when you can't tell the truth
and you can't think of a lie.

It is the only defense of an utterly indefensible position.


Monica Armenta cannot explain away the fact the the leadership of the APS has self excepted themselves from accountability to any meaningful standard of conduct. She can't tell the truth and there is no conceivable lie.

The Journal, Trib and others, simply cannot report credibly on the ethics and accountability scandal in the leadership of the APS. Not without first reporting credibly on their failure to report credibly on that subject, here to fore.

What are they going to do? ...pretend they just heard about it?

They have all together, covered this up through at least three elections, mill levies, and bond issues.

There is only one reason to hide the record of the public service. And that is because the record is one of corruption and incompetence.

If there were a good reason to hide the record, then there is a better reason to make that reasoning public.

Ms. Armenta won't, because she can't. They are not hiding their record for a good reason. They are hiding it for a bad reason.

...a very, very, bad reason.


Either that or I am just another disgruntled former employee
(and crazy conspiracy nut).

You pick a side when you don't pick a side.

It's time to pick a side and cowboy up.

"The formation of character in young people is educationally a different task from and a prior task to, the discussion of the great, difficult ethical controversies of the day."

"If we want our children to possess the traits of character we most admire, we need to teach them what those traits are and why they deserve both admiration and allegiance. Children must learn to identify the forms and content of those traits." Bennett

If we really want children to grow to embrace honor and courage and character; some one has to show them what it looks like.

It is time for the role models to step up.
