Word comes today that Ray Lam , a candidate for British Columbia’s Provincial Parliament, has withdrawn his candidacy and stepped aside.
The reason given was the controversy that arose over two photos posted on his PRIVATE Facebook page.
One photo shows him mugging for the camera with a female friend, his hand on her breast. The other shows him in his underwear, posing suggestively with a male and a female friend.
Ironically, based on the records of elected officials currently holding office in both Canada and the United States, if Lam had convictions for drunk driving, partner assault, or financial fraud, there would have been no problem with him continuing to run for office. However, because his private, consensual, and COMPLETELY LEGAL behaviour offends some people’s aesthetic sense (they can dignify it by calling it morality…but I refuse to go along with that cop-out), the party loses an otherwise qualified candidate.
People often wonder where the leaders are today. Here is their answer. They’ve been hounded out of office, or scared away from politics by an intolerant, infantile public, who think it is their business to judge the private lives of candidates for public office. In their stead, it seems the public would rather elect drunks, batterers, and, swindlers, and then moan in despair when these people act like irresponsible, abusive, cheaters.
Who could have guessed THAT would be the outcome?
