That’s Not a Way to Run a Country

Today’s Washington Post has a very interesting article about the immigration disaster Congress is trying to fix—or make worst?

The most interesting sentence in the whole article is:

“When laws are passed that cannot or will not be enforced, people quickly come to understand that the law does not mean what it says.”

This opens the floor for some very interesting questions:

Why creating a law that the lawmaker knows will not be enforced?

Why creating laws that give prosecutors the power to decide who will get punished and who should not?

What ever happened to leadership?

Is that the reason why Vermont wants to leave the Union?

With all the problems Americans are facing (Iraq war, terror threats, increasing violent crimes, health care costs, rising mortgages, et cetera)—why are lawmakers not doing what America needs?

Do we have too many clueless bozos?

Well, what can I say? I think everyone who looks at code like that and doesn’t change it or—way better—makes this part of a badly needed code review session should change their profession.

Wouldn’t you agree?

Can your customers describe you with 5 words or less?

Has Honesty Become Too Old-Fashioned?

The German Consulting Group has just released a study (link only in German, sorry) done with 400 German top managers about truth and fiction; asked was about how honest they are when using electronic communication (blackberry, e-mail, phone, etc.).

The results are not really surprising, or are they?

82% admit that honesty in business has hit a new low
63% admit that they use electronic communication to lie to partners, co-workers and in business in general
81% said their texting isn’t truthful
79% said their e-mail contains lies
A mere nine percent said they never lie in e-mails
61% use white lies on the phone
15% say they didn’t hear the phone ring or there were network problems
14% claim there was no phone reception

How truthful are you?
