Wisdom makes me smile
My friend Karen Mock passed this along to me and, as she wrote, it is too good not to pass along.
A very self-important college freshman attending a recent football game took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen sitting next to him why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation.
'You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one,' the student said, loud enough for many of those nearby to hear. 'The young people of today are much more advanced than people your age. We grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the moon and the Internet. We have cell phones, nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers, automated manufacturing, amazing
technologies, …and,' pausing to take another drink of beer.The senior took advantage of the break in the student's litany and said, 'You're right, son. We didn't have those things when we were young…..so we invented them. Now, you arrogant little shit, what are YOU doing for the next generation?'
The applause was resounding…

Wonderful! Check these out
On doing an image search, I came across these great pictures. I will definitely be framing some for my place. Have a look at Building a World - The Explodingdog Store.
Thanks Steve
I still remember fondly the first computer ever to find its way into the family home. The Apple IIe was magic, allowing these clumsy finger to type badly, then delete the virtual mistakes.

What did Peter Kent think of Israel before he was an MP?
it is an interesting question for both public and private individuals. What is your level of responsibility for things said many years ago. What is the statute of limitations for contrition?
In this case, Peter Kent reported in a way that is at best unbalanced and at worst anti-Israel. So I have to ask, was Peter Kent reading a script he did not believe in 1987 or is he reading one now as a candidate in Thornhill.
I know where Karen Mock stands on the issues.

Campaign Manager Training
I am sitting in a room of Liberals in downtown Toronto, listening to a series of presentations delving into the details around communications and campaign management. What strikes me is how similar these discussions are to those I have been a part of in many businesses.
Good management of the product and brand. Good control of the message. Motivation of workers. Incentives for workers. Marketing to prospects.
More later. Maybe even some pics.
