Classic and typical behavior. Combine this with champion race-baiter Al Sharpton planning his Summer of Flames tour and you have to wonder what other evidence is required to establish charges of “inciting a riot”? The “Reverend” gives televangelists and other carney barkers a bad name

Don’t worry, big government is here to protect you
He wont be seeing sunlight anytime soon. But hey, dont worry about your big government, Obama assures us that nothing can go wrong. I hear the NSA administraito rs are going to be going over to the IRS administraitor offices to help them run their programs too, or is it the other way around? […]
Weekend reflection process
RJ: the asker of great questions, asked: Hi Ken, Do you have anything written on a weekend review process for a trading journal and trade chart markups? Double loop learning requires review of work but I don’t have a well-defined process for weekend reviews. I searched the chatroom and your essays but either didn’t use […]
Approaching trading as a High Reliability Organization (HRO)
We know from scholarly and popular literature that 90% of new businesses fail in the first five years as an additional 90% fill in the next five years and yet there are groups of organizations that are remarkably successful while operating the most difficult of circumstances when you would expect failure to be the norm.

There’s a 1.5T potential swing based on who wins and how sequestration pans out. In the worst case (in my view) Romney wins, and tries to spend an […]
the engineering approach to problem solving
The hybrid approach you referred to I think reflects the sense of the sociotechnical process. I can’t imagine why people and organizations would not intentionally adopt that as the default position when considering organizational issues, and yet I see people polarizing around either or approach all time in my organization. It seems to me that […]
Digital workspaces and the atomization of human communication
If we are social animals, and workplace networking and interaction is an important part of our psychological well-being, what are the implications of an increasingly telecommuting workforce? It’s a well-known phenomenon that people are mean to each other over the Internet in their blogs and discussion board comments. E-mail is well known for being misinterpreted. […]
Reflecting on pride…
examine the difference between “the source of pride” and “the need for pride” 2 related but quite different feelings that satisfy different needs? do they arise from different places from within? we can’t choose our feelings but we can work on breaking the automatic linkage between feelings and action through mindful effort we can learn […]
