This one is making a lot of traffic. My thought is that phrasing the
question like that is a bit like the old saw about everyone who used pot
had drunk milk as a growing youngster, therefore...
You can substitute any of the following for 'senior manager' and not
change the answer to the question.
Junior managers, school boards, consultants, school administrators, town
councils, educators at all levels, doctors, lawyers, environmentalists,
anti-environmentalists, husbands, wives, politicians, political leaders,
labor leaders, pro-abortionists, anti-abortionists...
I still fail to understand why we assign more responsibility for this
transition to OTHERS than to OURSELVES.
