POLITICAL IDEOLOGY
Corporate interests are being protected first
“Creative destruction” Mitt Romney tells us is an essential part of capitalist ideology.
Paid “experts” disingenuously argue new jobs are created elsewhere so the net effect is nil on the labor market.
They conveniently ignore the global reality of the present case: The jobs are being re-created in China, not here.
The global market forces driving U.S. unemployment dictate manufacturing must follow cheap labor (to Asia).
So pure capitalism, in the present reality, is simply not in our U.S. national interest.
Will America elect as president a free market ideologue who espouses economic Darwinism at the obvious expense of the national interest? Sounds rather unpatriotic to me.
These free-market maniacs have contrived unnatural rules that protect corporate interest before humanity’s: “Corporations are people!” I’ll believe that when I see one in jail for murder or theft or fraud.
Corporations are a legal contrivance largely devised to avoid personal responsibility for selfish collective behavior.

CONTRACT ISSUE
Manager was correct
I admire and respect every council member I have met. I think they all have the greater good as a mission, but something happens when they meet, and it’s called gridlock. They get stuck on details of my way or no way and simple decisions get debated forever.
Dora Beck did the right thing as a manager. She made an executive decision, within her legal authority. As every young army officer is taught, don’t just stand there, make a decision and act on it. As Patton said, a good plan executed today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.
