As I peruse the web and listen to news stories, it is obvious that more and more people are becoming aware that things are not all kosher at State U. There are several groups out there who represent students who fall victim to professorial bullying on campuses all across the country.

Political Correctness, like any form of hate-driven insanity, will always snowball. The reason for that is very simple. It is the opposite form of what George H. W. Bush called Reagan’s “Voodoo Economics.” In Reagan’s plan, the more people could be freed up from taxes and regulation to create wealth, the more opportunity would be provided for others to follow them into a cycle of productivity. As he often said, “A rising tide lifts all boats.”

As in anything, the most gifted, strong, and dedicated will lead the way. As they break the ice, those less gifted, strong, and dedicated can then push through.

The same principle works in regard to the destructiveness of the left in their vampirism. You get the strongest and most obnoxious ones demanding radical changes that are shocking to the majority. As people give in, that breaks the ice so that the less bold parasites can join in the looting. Just as a healthy body can fight off disease, one that becomes weakened by it falls victim to a host of problems.

Once the train is rolling, it is too hard to stop. That is a blessing, as it means that the system will have to crash. The leaders of the pack may realize this, and want to back off the throttle, but the followers who are less intelligent as well as less gifted don’t see the big picture. It is their time, and there is no way in hell anyone is going to stop them. They will push things past the breaking point.

A matador in a bullfight is trained to let the bull defeat himself. When a bull sees red, he can’t control himself. When a Red sees power within his grasp, he can’t control himself.

Why Johnny Can’t Think is a training manual for matadors.

I am informed that after all my pleas to go to

READBOB.COM

and at least thank my book team, and after dedicating the book to them, WOL readers are doing nothing at all for it.

They don’t go to

READBOB.Com

It’s too much trouble.

Gee, thanks, gang. That really makes me feel like all this work and cost is worth while, you know?

You may have gotten the impression from “I Got an F in Fear101” below that people offered to take pay cuts to work for me because I was easy on them or I was too nice to fire them.

I was known for “letting people go” as the euphemism for firing them now goes. But I talked to them first and tried to be sure they had another job before I let them go.

Something that is easy to forget is that I was the one who made the mistake in hiring them in the first place. I was supposed to the decision-maker, so they were my responsibility.

The people I want are the ones I don’t “delegate authority” to. I DUMP responsibility on them. Good people absolutely glory in that. I have to stop THEM from working themselves to death.

I try not to hire people who don’t want that. If they fail, it’s largely my fault for making a bad choice, and I was hired to make exactly that kind of choice.

Remember the members of my book team work their butts off and don’t get anything for it, not even people dropping by

and thanking them.

But, despite the fact they don’t get paid, it is still very hard to get on my inner team. One man offered to help me with the drafting and editing. I gave him an assignment and told him I wanted it back in a week, “We’re not big on excuses.”

That’s an understatement.

He got it back to me in exactly a week. It was a good job, but more important for a new man, it was on my desk, or on my computer, on time with no urging.

I told him that if it hadn’t been there, he would have been out, “You are supposed to push ME, not the other way around.”

So I am just as hard on people whose only reward is to work for the cause as I am on paid employees.

So I fired a lot of people in my career. But the good ones just kept coming.
