That's probably because of all the Accountants and Lawyers that have taken over America's Corporations with nothing but a "bottom line" attitude and a "what have you done for me lately" management style. Too many have been "Peter Principled" to the top, like Ken Lay!!!
President Reagan admired those who could drive a corporation by looking farther down the road than the hood ornament!!!
My wife works weekends, and when she went into town this morning, she saw a number of flags flying at full staff and got really mad.
McDonald's for instance.
She called them up when she got to work and asked the little snot (I'm a manager) why their flag wasn't at half mast. The twit didn't even know that President Reagan had died. My wife called her an ignorant little &%$)@! and hung up.
The county library flag was at full staff, too. She fired off a flaming letter to the editor.
I'm so proud of her.
