Wow, Ron,

I didn't recall you saying anything before about the conversation being on
corporate transformation! I thought you were introducing an invitation to
dialogue in the realm of "solving world problems."

Your offer is very generous, but I'm not sure there is any shared belief
that "economic improvement is less a result of political elections..."

Your energy comes through loud and clear, but I'm not sure the objective
is agreed to. Based on your original invitation for conversation, I
originally envisioned a "letter to the editors of the world" about, well,
maybe the self-evident truths, for example.
Your original post included:

I don't recall that question being answered. I know I'm in no position to
engage in a political letter--I'm too ignorant of the relationships
between business and politics. From where I sit, they all look alike.
Anyway, please retain the energy. I don't think we're ready for it yet.
