kallend 2,151 #126 April 20, 2011 QuoteQuote Members of NPR are industrialists, physicians, surgeons, engineers, etc? What evidence do you have of the partisanship of, say, the National Academy of Engineering or The Institute of Medicine? My point is just because something is charted by congress doesn't make it non-partisan. Government unions? Partisan. NPR? Partisan. and lost but not least, Institute of medicine? Who do you think stood in front of the president on the White House lawn dressed in lab coats pushing his health care bill? Not doctors from actual hospitals. They work in the real world and know what his plan will eventually do to the health care system. When you need the naive and indoctrinated, look no further than a college campus. So you have no actual evidence. I thought not.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reach exceeding one's grasp is a great way to keep a TV series going because Gilligan never gets off the island and Mulder never finds the aliens, but as a leadership policy in general it's moronic.
