BAR HARBOR—Though Maine Representative Gary Friedmann (D-Bar Harbor) has cosponsored a five-page bill that would change how Maine school athletic teams operate, he said March 6, at the YWCA MDI, that he doesn’t support the bill, won’t vote for it, and will testify against it.
To complicate matters, what about somebody born intersex? So much time wasted on this stuff, as if kids are transitioning to gain access to the "wrong" bathroom or to excel in a sport.
"During the occasionally testy discussion, Friedmann said he was a man of integrity and didn’t appreciate having his integrity questioned . . ."
HaHa!
Chickens. Roosts. Friedmann can lavishly dish it out from privileged positions, but not take it from constituents.
Integrity essentially means being of one piece. It derives from the Latin adjective integer, meaning whole or complete. It is defined as 'an undivided or unbroken completeness' - ie consistent throughout.
As Russell Baker of blessed memory pointed out, Ma Barker and her sons were consistent in their 'family values.' Integrity also has come to mean "honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility." Not qualities I equate with Friedmann.
Friedemann is consistent in his own testy self regard. Fortunately, so far more Moe, Larry, and Curley than the Barker gang. But give him time.
