ReplyDeleteKinda doesn't make good business or any kind of sense to tick off an organization that has that many people and that much money. I believe that this blog asked the question why we can't get organized. Rather than join forces with the powerful organization, ones chose to push them further away. Does that sound like the smart thing to do?
ReplyDeleteI get it. If they are rich, powerful and corrupt, we should embrace them. If they are poor, small of numbers, honest and care only for the animals--and they disagree with the rich, powerful and corrupt organization--we should reject them.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of attitude is that? This is the Republican world view as expressed by Bush, when he addressed a group of moneymakers:
"I feel right at home, being with the rich and richer."
