Take The Money And Run

Here's the thing about Gilles Duceppe's $141 000 pension: He's entitled to it.

Why? Because our system allows it. Simple as that.

Sucks. I know.

Philosophically of course, separatists who take the money and run really, when you think of it to its profound end, don't have honor. If they truly believed in their cause, they'd reject the money. Hate it? Grow a pair and put an end to it.

In the meantime, who in their right mind rejects cold hard cash?

It's like an athlete being overpaid. It's not the athlete's fault an organization inflates their pay cheque. Why would they turn down a massive contract?
