Unions stealing "occupy bostons" thunder

[Pete F.]

I think you have the time of change right but you are giving Timothy Leary way too much credit.
I'd look to LBJ and his "New Society" The theory behind it is well intended but the bureaucracy that was created is an unwieldy and expensive method of neighbors helping neighbors thru bureaucrats.

The creation and advancement of MBA programs where instead of working their way from the mailroom to the boardroom we created relatively instant wizards who placed no value on employees only on numbers, Great at short term solutions that we (the middle class) are now paying the price for.

You are absoluetly right,Pete, a lot of book learners
without any experience or common sense.

Speaking of which when I was in a management training program
in the early 60s one of the books we read said, "when hiring a manager
look for someone who has the character of one you would want
your children to work for. " Honesty and integrity were #1.
That thinking would be unheard of in todays business world and hence a
big part of the trouble we are in.

Don't be a stranger here Pete, great for letting go of frustrations
and having fun.
