Leading By Example

[HARDCORE]

?LEADING BY EXAMPLE? has become a lost art!! The entire world (bar none), now practices a double standard of thought and conduct, and that (unfortunately) includes the United States!!

Kennedy once said: ?ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU, BUT RATHER ASK, WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY!? Beautiful words indeed - but words alone!! What our government can do for us is (again) - ?TO LEAD BY IT?S OWN EXAMPLE!?

There is no natural dividing line of classes, government and bureaucracy here within the USA, especially when it comes to actions, and the Golden Rule definitely should come into play from top to bottom, and all points in between! Even presidents can not deceive and lie to their own people, and then expect a different code of conduct from those whom they were elected to serve!

Unfortunately, however, the ?Old, Pre French Revolution Mentality of Europe? is often nurtured these days. Equality, liberty and fraternity, like many segments of our own Constitution, are only revered in a figurative sense only! Power, control, high finance, deception, lies and manipulation, are fast becoming the rule of thumb worldwide! And what standards are automatically expected (make that demanded) of the little people, are seldom (if ever) adhered to by those making the rules and their inner sanctum cronies!

This, of course, is not to say (nor imply) that rules and a code of conduct are not needed - they are indeed! However, what is needed, at least as much, is compliance with these mandates by a bureaucracy that insists on a double standard!!
