An organization conceivably in the position of promoting an agenda begats politics and attracts those more attracted to politics than the supposed function of the organization. Such as our local, state and federal "governments" for example. Any governing body becomes a power structure and soon begins to function as nothing more than an entity to promote its own longevity rather than promoting the ideas of what it was put into place to do.Lordbudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17938074537561661491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842291092692051858.post-45642634223860021222010-11-16T22:09:07.405-08:002010-11-16T22:09:07.405-08:00Why Don't they just off the 2 Bozo's causi...Why Don't they just off the 2 Bozo's causing the Grief and get on with it?Dr.Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18238516641672747766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842291092692051858.post-50643722726855960362010-11-16T14:21:45.361-08:002010-11-16T14:21:45.361-08:00Like the "Anointed One" and the State of...Like the "Anointed One" and the State of the Union, the current Federation administration has put the organization in a very tenuous position.

The situation is worsening, with disgruntled folks quitting the organization and squabbling among the "powers that be". In the meanwhile, the magazine bounces around between "temporary" editors. Not a good sign.Mike Dolcinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100009168892063834noreply@blogger.com
