Jacob, sometimes I get concerned. I know you have your plate full, but When you don't comment on a comment, I wonder whether my generation is or is not expressing views similar to your generation.
When I was working and had employees under me, we had an agreement. If I disagreed with something an employee said or did, I would say so. If an employee disagreed with something I said or did, he was to challenge me. In the end we might do things my way, OR maybe not.
All of us did better and were happy with this understanding.
What I am saying is-------------if you disagree with something I say, then please say so, and why.
We are a product of our environment and I have had 85 years of it, so my brain has been twisted, jolted, reprimanded, conjoled. "Facts" have been digested, accepted, and rejected. Knowledge has been stored, sometimes in recall, sometimes in secret and locked compartments, never to be seen or heard from again.
So, my friend, I want you to know I am very proud to call you my friend, and the last thing I want is for you to think of me as a babbling old coot who has passed his prime.
Advice is free, and often it is worth about what it cost.
