THE BLAME GAME
by Jim Emerton
When things are not right in our society, many people will defend their position by casting the onus of responsibility onto any person or entity outside of themselves: the weather, the birds, the convoyer, anything but themselves. You are responsible for the quality of your birds, the system, and the choice of loft location. The old distance boys said look in the mirror - the glass of truth. Yes, if you want to improve a little introspection goes a long way towards self improvement. Nick and I now have 5 Tarbes yearlings and 3 Barcelona arrivals I maintain the faith that more will return. We do not set out to denigrate or negate anything connected with the racing, it is as it is - my philosophical approach, and I am being critical of certain people in an abstract manner.
