Lindsay,

Ron Christie should lose his job as Lord Mayor and resign from the Council.

In fact he should be tethered in the Town Stocks at Franklin Square while we all throw rotten tomatoes, bad eggs and other equally disgusting things at him.

After which this man needs to be paraded through the streets of Hobart in nothing more than a loin cloth perched on a cantankerous donkey with pointed ears and rocky backbone. If he had a fibre of moral fortitude he would cover himself in sack cloth and ash before retreating to the nearest leper colony or even swallow an unappetising dose of hemlock!

Why should this man be made to suffer so much, bear such humiliation and degradation from his fellow citizens?

Well its simple really; he had the audacity to share his ideas, thoughts and just to ponder. Which ironically is the very essence of Dark Mofo and what the Mofo artists, writers and creative souls so passionately and fervently believe in.

Indeed, perhaps we do need to take stock of who we are and what is really important.
