Wars have cost $700B since 9/11Put that in your tank....
A new Congressional Research Service report says the U.S. government has spent about $700 billion on "military operations, base security, reconstruction, foreign aid, embassy costs, and veterans' health care for the three operations initiated since the 9/11 attacks."
My favorite quote
From what we get,
we make a living;
what we give, however,
makes a life.
My Employment Ad
Life long iconoclast
seeks engagement.

Excellent opportunity to stimulate growth. Formal l'agent du change. Abyss facer with capable mystic graciousness. Poet industrialist. Altruistic capitalist. Molecular minuteman. Quantum quarterback. And much, much more. Able to leap reluctance in a single bound. Mentors, counterparts, swashbucklers, dancing girls included.

Ask not.
Take everything.
Even my poverty.

About me
A rocky career in non-profit social change such as the Men's Growth Institute. Strong industrial adventures in international trade and technology transfer. Officer of monorail transportation, manufactured housing, power, waste and water treatment offers. Worked with executives & officials in many nations building relations upon honor. Enjoyed deep, exciting and beautiful personal relationships. I believe that living is not always easy and can be quite painful, yet there is a tremendous capability inside of us to create our human potential.

My favorite caveat
We must be careful not to overstate the case. Let us not forget that in this situation it must be noted: nothing could be further from the truth. Because, as they say, it is the exception that proves the rule. Of course, rules are made to be broken and so, in this case, we must make allowances. For the time being, all we can state with certainty is that, given this set of assumptions, all things will be equal. Context is everything. Thus, this is not the final word on the subject. And yet, because of the foregoing doubts, we must be doubly sure. So, in light of current developments and taking stock of all our cultural preconceptions, the conclusion is neither obvious nor buried.

My current grief
This doctrine is known as antinomianism, the doctrine that the Elect are free of all constraint by laws. To what extent does this principle still animate our politics?
At home, we have a famously low to nonfunctional welfare state, almost as if we thought there is fundamentally something wrong with helping those whom God hasn't favored.
Our entertainments (and sometimes, it seems, our police departments)
are replete with the 'action hero' who breaks all the rules and acts an awful lot like a Bad Guy, but is the Good Guy nonetheless.

My best leadership tip
Want to dramatically increase your organization's "creativity quotient"? It may be simpler than you thought. IBM's knowledge management guru Larry Pruzak says the key to knowledge sharing and innovation is to "hire great people and let them talk." Social networks, personal relationships, people with connections across divisional boundaries - this is the real foundation for breakthrough innovation.
