Notice the word I used to link to your post? “Heroes.” You called Epic’s CEO a “corporate heroine.” That’s why I linked, and for no other reason: not to rebut anything else you said, but to rebut that description. <BR/><BR/>Heroism may not require sacrifice (a word I never used but that you quoted anyway), but it certainly requires risk. It certainly does require courage. Can one be a hero, even though his/her actions are perfectly safe, and carry no amount of risk at all? Give us an example. Even a hypothetical one. <BR/><BR/>If what Epic did is heroism, the word has lost all meaning. I’m thinking it has no meaning for you. It’s just a nice word for you to use when you want to justify what someone on your side of the political spectrum does.Lance Burrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17746501103895547057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506514005426983269.post-42334682606984889472008-07-09T07:08:00.000-05:002008-07-09T07:08:00.000-05:00I enjoyed the way the first round of commentary ab...I enjoyed the way the first round of commentary about Epic worried about their profitability and stock price. Har, har.<BR/><BR/>Where's the worry about the innumerable companies whose CEOs are spending precious company time on WMC's political work? And then there's the dues. Doesn't that hurt the bottom line? They're worried about Epic's spot price on bulk copy paper, but not on the time the WMC-member CEO spends on non-business, on the company dime?<BR/><BR/>I'll give Lance credit for using the correct quote "try not to". Most other WMC wanna-be-lackeys inflated Epic's position into something far more threatening.Display Namehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842340986220388709noreply@blogger.com
