    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will give you a story. A man once went to Heaven. When he entered the gate of Heaven, he was refused entry and told to go to hell because he was a sinner. Then he told St. Peter: “In as much as you can confirm that I am a sinner, the mistake is not mine. The mistake belongs to Adam and Eve, who originally sinned and then consigned the rest of humanity to the problem of sinning. So, as somebody who has been conditioned by my past, I have the right to enter Heaven”. Then, St. Peter said: “Look, when Adam and Eve sinned, God gave man his or her mind to distinguish between right and wrong and between sin and not sinning. So, your insurance against sinning is to use your mind correctly and to ascertain that what you do will earn you your way to Heaven. Unfortunately, you have not used your mind correctly. So, you must bear that responsibility”. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if we have to go back several years and say that “Since the Government in the past or since the Colonial Government had done this or that, then we cannot do what is right today”, we shall be taking leave of our rightful senses and doing what is right. In actual fact, when I listen to some people presenting this issue, it results to what we call reduction ad absurdum, in other words, reducing things to absurdity."
