Whose body is on the railings?

My thoughts have been with Thomas Hickey today.

The Mankind Project has been debating the proposal that all men in leadership positions complete a training on multicultural issues. The organisation is the least prejudiced of any I have ever met or worked in, and they are deeply committed to including all men, no matter which faith, colour, caste, creed, or sexual preference. They are also deeply committed to honouring men and not telling men what they should or should not do. Stuck betwixt a rock of demonstrating commitment and a hard place of mandating men to take a training course, they have recently chosen to make multicultural training an "expectation" rather than a "requirement".

This linguistic change is both brilliant, and full of shit. Rather like me.
