Gore v. Bush; there is a difference

[Lisa & Ian Murray]

>>His second flaw was that he thought like a management consultant. A
management consultant's principal goal is to win a debate in front of
his employer, the senior decision maker, the "Principal." You win a
debate by making intellectual arguments, controlling the flow of
information to the senior decision maker, walling-off potential
adversaries from the process, and winning the confidence of the
Principal by telling him things that he likes to hear: that he is
smart, that his goals can be achieved, that the nay-sayers just don't
grasp the issues....For a management consultant, it doesn't matter if
everyone else in
the organization hates your guts as long as the Principal--the
CEO--is convinced, for the CEO is the boss and can then make things
happen.

Yet one of the bazillion reasons capitalism is a cesspool of aspiring
fascists who use libertarianism as a foil to keep on getting away with this
kind of anti-social behavior.
It's just like Frank Zappa said; the 3 most dangerous letters in a democracy
are MBA.
