The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

Just got back from a dinner party with several education professionals. We were discussing the effect of state and federal government mandates on measurement of outcomes that essentially dictate that, in special education programs, only a set percentage of students will pass. No more than that percentage will be allowed to pass, no matter the facts. This same idiocy is about to be applied to your healthcare provider. |

Say ... how do you feel about Jack Welch's management philosophy of firing 10% of his managers every year? No more than 90% is allowed to "pass" onto the next year, no matter the facts. |

Jack Welch is not an elected official and I am not seriously invested in GE stock, ergo I could give a flying flip what he does for management. Would you like to ask a coherent or relevant question? |

OK, here's a question. Why do American elections take f*cking years, while the rest of the world manages it in weeks? |

It is a question. While it is coherent (especially goven the hour on Saturday night ) it is not relevant. Give the result, I will rephrase my question. Would you like to ask a coherent AND relevant question? |

Many if not most of the same skills apply, even if the accountabilities are different. That does not mean the acts of one particular and very controversial CEO have any relevance. See my revised question above. |

If you can't answer my question, just say so. Years of our lives wasted, and we end up with Romney versus Obama. The 3 Stooges show up, except that one Stooge is missing. |

That's alright ... you characterized Jack Welch as "controversial." I infer that to mean you're not exactly a Jack Welch fan, which is fine by me. [EDIT: left out the all-important "not" in the original; now fixed.] Edited by Axtremus, Jul 8 2012, 04:01 AM.

There is no sense in discussing your fantasies, unimaginative as they may be. |

Ahh ... left out the all important "not" in the original. Meant to say "... you're not exactly a Jack Welch fan ..." |

Why should a nation be run like a corp? Corps are later social organizations for signifantly more limited and special interest purposes than a nation. You might as well ask why a nation shouldn't run like a girl scout troop or a Rotary club. |

Either way is incorrect and a fabrication of your own mind. I'm largely uninterested in Jack Welch's take on much of anything, including the presidency. The fact that the media sees the opportunity for low cost content does not make his musings relevant. Your whole premise is flawed, at least when it comes to me. The only way I have ever related management of government to that of business is in the budgeting process. When you need to cut you should cut operational expenses across the board and let your line managers figure out how best to implement those cuts within guidelines. |

It should be like a corp financially - it should turn a profit without resorting to taxation. It should not be a mean old corp that wages war on women and poor people. |
