It doesn't mean that person doesn't have good qualities but just not the same philosophies on how things work or should work.

I would very much like to have a political forum. That way, if you can't stand the heat, you can just stay out of the kitchen.

One very different thing about seniors is, they don't hold back. We don't have all the time in the world like we used to

Hi GG: Ïts hard to listen........is a fact but be ever present that we are all entitled to our views. If people exercised that rule disagreement would always be civil. Underlying that rule is freeing oneself of ego.

I spent my entire career educating employee staff after staff that I didn't need to be right but I did need to make the right choices so that their input was indeed valuable and indeed valuable it was right down to the file clerks.
