I've pondered this subject, off and on, for 40 years. With classmates and friends when I was a school-kid growing up, as a business owner hiring and interacting with employees and as a retired adult shopping and talking to friends and people in my neighborhood.

President Obama's response to the tragedy in Haiti has been robust in military deployment and puny in what the Haitians need most: food; first responders and their specialized equipment; doctors and medical facilities and equipment; and engineers, heavy equipment, and heavy movers. Sadly, President Obama is dispatching Presidents Bush and Clinton, and thousands of Marines and U.S. soldiers. By contrast, Cuba has over 400 doctors on the ground and is sending in…

There was a CBS (I think it was CBS) television special several years ago that explored in detail the 4 or 5 Israeli's that were seen celebrating on the top of a van and then arrested and deported. It also explored in great detail over 100 Israeli's that were connected to Mossad and had been spying in our country on the FBI, CIA and local law enforcement. The show aired and was immediately pulled from the CBS web site and disappeared. I've seen this show on the internet. I think it was a two or…

WASHINGTON—The head of a new elite terrorism-interrogation program said Thursday that it will take several more months to establish teams that could question high-profile suspects.
The teams are part of an overhaul of counterterrorism policy and have become an issue in a partisan battle over the Obama administration's handling of the suspect in a botched Christmas Day airline bombing attempt.

Just as true today as it was when his book first came out.
He was, and still is, a brilliant businessman!
Often we need to be reminded of Iococca's words.
Remember Lee Iacocca, the man who rescued Chrysler Corporation from its death throes? He's now 82 years old and has a new book, 'Where Have All The Leaders Gone?'.

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Excerpts of a Sermon at the Ebenezer Baptist Church on April 30, 1967.
You may not know it my friend, but it is estimated that we spend $500,000 dollars to kill each enemy soldier, while we spend only $53.00 dollars for each person classified as poor. And, most of that $53.00 dollars goes to salaries for people who are not poor.
