My guess is that it's a pitiful aspect of the human condition. You try to do the most for your company. You overstep boundary's that blur your focus on your actions and how your persona is morphing from good person to sinner. Business leaders, and politicians are the easily spotted individuals. But in reality we cannot blame Bush or Gates for the current condition of things. In that they are within a group or a large group and decisions are made that never ever cross them personally. Their respective empires are way to vast for them to be on top of everything. When we see that the Bill and Melinda foundation is going to attempt to improve the world I am impressed. He personally has the funding potential, and the friends who can kindly toss in a few billion as well. Was it all Melinda's doing to warm a heart of stone? Who knows. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
