I'VE GOT THE SALT: David Janes goes off on a rant and declares that the "Ontario Children's Aid Society should be folded, all it's members forbidden to have jobs that bring them into contact with children again in their lives, and their buildings should be razed and the ground sown with salt."

What's the reason for this anger? The CAS is attempting to take two children away from their foster parents -- whom they have been raised by since babies -- essentially because they're white. The children, however, are aboriginals.

But David Feliciant, the lawyer for the Hamilton CAS, said the case is not about any unfair treatment accorded the foster families, or about the band flexing any political muscle. Nor, Mr. Feliciant added, is the case about love.

"It is naïve to suggest that love conquers all," he snapped. "It doesn't."

To which David responds: "Yes, and certainly not the mighty power of the goon and the bureaucrat."

I like seeing David angry.
