Trading Places, C.E.O. Does Mrs. Mom "..And what I learned is that the only thing worse is independence. "

indendence is worse than dependence. why? because you're alone. if you map it around a bit you get to the lone ranger thing, myths and dreams of family utopias. 50s idea one and all. not entirely, but close.

the word of the day is 'interdependence'.. then tomorrow we practice 'mutuality'.

psychopathy worse than orality leading to genitality. nice move mrs mom!

i find nothing more challenging than working sense into 'california think' companies.

i've met one today, reeling from how the owners let 'processing' creep into the machine,
how it marginalizes producers who loose track of job-requirements and everyday routines and procedures when interpersonal bliss becomes a goal for people at the top of the organization.
there's a maskiness, a new-age political correctness, a fear.. and a sadness when you realize that instead of a business people were trying to build families.
no matter what the value, if you're trying to build a family amongst your people then you're not building a business. not when you're 'processing' your vision away instead of letting go of hardworking stupid people. you get a family by using everybody the way they are best used. and you still go home to yours.

some ideas are just too big to run them just from the heart. you need a smart heart more often than not. that's just not in california think yet.
