Maybe the solution is for us to get off our duffs and find people to run who DO meet our specifications. Failing that, we are still better off with someone who’s 80% with us than someone who’s 0% with us.
The quicksand and all other rationalizing analogies fail in that at least one is still alive under one scenario with hope for a knight in shining armor to come along and save the day vs. being totally dead and beyond any hope at all.
but your right in one respect...you'll have lost most of your “high minded” Troops when YOU finally see the light and feel the quicksand tickling your nose!!
Its time YOU changed your direction!...not us....become a “Force Multiplier”....not a “Force Splitter”.....(all IMHO of course)
