“Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving.”

Justice Louis Brandeis coined this marvelous phrase: “Sunlight is the best disinfectant” in praise of transparency and honesty in public policy.

In this the Connected Age, I can’t fathom how a company thinks it can “manage” its way out of a crisis without stating the simple truth.

Just watched this movie with Matt Damon.  Most excellent and makes me want to never invest in the stock market again.
