[AlpacaTalk] Re: Fwd: Hey Elwin!
Quoting a great leader does not make a leader great. Neither does
calling the people that one wishes to lead greedy, gullible
dishonest and/or cheaters.
I am against involving a government agency in settling disputes
within the practices of our small industry. If our calling is to be
the change we wish to see in the world, then the answer is not to
cry foul to our regulators, but to be an agent of change in our
industry, our organizations, and ourselves and not to spread
distrust and fear under the pretenses of dualism. This is not
an "us vs. them" struggle. There is only us.
