If there's no truly benevolent dictator in your heart--God--a more ruthless dictator will surely show up to fill the gap.

Being an uncompromising company also helps attract the best employees. The best employees want to clear that high bar, or if they fail, fail because they failed--not because someone above them cut corners.

If they know who Gabriele was sharing the information with, and if that person is close to retirement, they may just solve it by speeding up the retirement. Otherwise, they bring more attention to what was leaked.

I always enjoyed watching "Von Ryan's Express."

Maybe a young Eric Holder was there running the local police narcotics squad, and concentrating his resources on busting dangerous Pentecostals high on Jesus.

For a lot of people, eating is a way to relax, a way to calm the nerves. It would be nice to just go for a walk in the evening, but the places you can do that safely are gradually disappearing. Walking doesn't calm your nerves if you're looking over your shoulder. During the day, you sit at a desk. At night you sit on the couch. Aging takes care of the rest.

You need a reality check, my friend.

For a start:

Real Catholic TV (May 31, 2011): The Notre Dame 88

(note: the guy speaking here is from Notre Dame's class of '83)

He's done great work unifying Catholics recently.

That's exactly right. Homosexual couples have watched what many married heterosexuals have been doing over the last fifty years, and said to themselves, "we can do that. What's hard about THAT?"

It depends what you consider "of note."

If "Catholic" is the important criteria, then:

Ave Maria University
Christendom College
Franciscan University of Steubenville
Mount St. Mary’s University
Thomas Aquinas College
Wyoming Catholic College

to name a few.

If instant recognition is the criteria, then that's different.

What's funny is, a lot of Native-American teenagers are busy trying to act like black rappers.

A Native-American comedian said, the teenagers even dress like rappers at Pow Wows. Teenagers bent over the drum would stick their spare drumstick in their back pocket, but their pants were so low that when you come up behind them you feel like putting a coin in the slot and pulling the drumstick.

From Catholic institutions all the way to Notre Dame. That's quite a range of opposition.

I can't sue a brick wall, but I can sue a corporation. What's the difference between the two? People maybe?

DocJay,

Boomers on the left may end up not liking the soft-socialism they created. Their grandchildren will likely be treating their illnesses more on the basis of an actuarial chart than on their individual medical chart. Here's your hearse, what's your hurry? "We have a bed opening up..."

tabula rasa,

I can tell you have no future in government. If something is not working (not buying votes,) you obviously look for the place that you're not spending enough money, and fix it.

I'd say the generation before the Boomers got it right, but they raised the Boomers...so you got me there. :) As for marketing, isn't entering retirement the time when you cut back on the luxuries and simplify? That brings up another mistake the Boomers made. They didn't have enough children.
