This is the most important blog you have written yet, Joe. My father, having been a Manager and then a long career as a Management Consultant (as is my brother), reflects on this all the time, so I showed it to him. He was impressed! Because he has the mind of an engineer (his training) - and this means plastics (chemical) engineering not CBC studio engineer / tech or the guy riding the choo choo train - he is not naturally or otherwise artistic at all, so seldom is able to express his thoughts in a humanistic way. You did that for him. Thank You!
Well said Joe. I don’t have the corner of wisdom on this, but ever since 2016 with the election of an American president, now a convicted felon, the political world has lost its imagination. People choose sides, and if you choose a side you want your side to win. Our notion of consensus, fairness and equity among people has been suspended. One of these days we’ll return. What was it Margaret Mead said? “Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For indeed that’s all who ever had.”
The only place you can "have it your way" is Burger King, and even they don't let you do that so much anymore.
Ha ha! True, David.

Thank you sir! I'm glad. And thanks for that other thing too! 😊 I'll be emailing you separately about that when I have more time.
