COMMITTEE RESIGNATIONS.............


In most committees, one or
two members are compelled
to break ranks, and disagree
with the majority. Sometimes
their firmly held principles of
fairness and justice fly in the
face of group decisions, born
out of ignorance, prejudice
and bias. And when such
dissenters are vilified and set  
upon, they often resign in protest.
Some resignations involve                                       ".... Just for the minutes......did anyone
a great deal of soul-searching                                 manage to catch the treasurer's parting 
before a letter, full of regret, is                                 words, as to where we should shove
reluctantly sent in. Other more                                our ideas on borrowing more money.... "
dramatic resignations are the                                 
abrupt, on-the-spot , " I've had it
up to here with you lot " departures,
usually involving door slamming,
paper scattering, plus the usual
barrage of unsavoury, profane,
but carefully chosen expletives.
