Thank you, Jim. We choose our poison these days without much fear of the consequences and these poisons have dangerous consequences. <br /><br />This didn't start with politics. For the past 30 years, we have narrowed our view in business to the next Board of Directors meeting, the next quarterly report, the next Annual Report. We have loaded cash onto CEOs without regard to their competence, laid off the sensible established employees who don't swallow the MBA double-think and set up our business community to fail. And fail it has done! Why? Because there is such a narrow view of the world where business operates.<br /><br />Now, expand that thinking to the political realm, where it has become established in the GOP. The method is 1)eliminate the source of the problem rather than the cause of the problem; 2)Focus on negatives rather than building positives; 3)Look for the quickest route to "winning" the next vote or the next election, without regard to the consequences of following that route. <br /><br />It is a bumpy road they follow and we cannot smooth it for them. So let's just vote and remove their power until they get the message!www.bloomlifecoaching@blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08920217007541302353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7622582335639067704.post-60299099638775966412011-07-12T19:08:29.220-05:002011-07-12T19:08:29.220-05:00Bravo!

The corruption and lack of consideration for their fellow man is beyond description at this point. There is no conscience involved. At a writer's lunch today there was a discussion of pathological narcissism. It is clearly rampant among politicians who have the gall to look people in the face and tell bald-faced lies with no regret whatsoever. It is one of the telling symptoms of mental disease. And these are the people who are trying to run away with our country!Loretta Paraguassuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12645083859303633766noreply@blogger.com
