This came to me from a very dear friend. i hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
The Tribal wisdom of the Dakota Indians....
The Tribal Wisdom of the Dakota Indians, passed on from generation to generation, says that, "When you discover that you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount."
However, in the corporate America, more advanced strategies are often employed, such as:
1. Buying a stronger whip.
2. Changing riders.
3. Appointing a committee to study the horse.
4. Arranging to visit other countries to see how other cultures ride horse.
5. Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included.
6. Reclassifying the dead horse as living - impaired.
7.Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse.
8. Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed.
9. Providing additional funding and/or training to increase dead horse's performance.
10. Doing a productivity study to see if lighter riders would improve the dead horse's performance.
11. Declaring that as the dead horse does not have to be fed, it is less costly, carries lower overhead and therefore contributes substantially more to the bottom line of the economy than do some other horse.
12. Rewriting the expected performance requirements for all horse,
AND MY FRIEND & MINE FAVORITE....

James F. So true!!
I for one believe it is out of control -- I have a strong feeling you also agree with this belief.
When, does it end? And, how did the board & investors let it go on? When, it is time to speak up & say enough is enough??
As always, I thank you & enjoyed your very astute comment...
Connie C. Glad you like it...sad but true!!
Mark H. very good point...sometimes I wonder if there is a difference? Thanks for stopping by.
big money and testified in my divorce for 5 days saying this was just a dream & a prayer. All the while they sign Goldman Sachs to take them public...Gosh, this is a story we need to talk over our lunch!!
I will get in touch with you -- I have had the flu all week. Make date tomorrow. hugs, mo-zy
As I scan the Washington bureaucratic horizon the dead and dying horses litter the landscape. The public has dismounted Bush's Iraqi hobby horse but it has a few feeble back and forward rocking motions left before rigger mortus sets in.
