Dave Schuler Is Tired
Are you?
I’m tired of people who find principles when their pensions are secured and people who are all for free trade (except for the trade restrictions that benefit them, personally). I’m tired of Fortune 1000 CEO’s who make 100’s of millions of dollars when there’s not a doubt in my mind that an Indian CEO every bit as competent could be hired for a fraction of the cost.I’m tired of companies like United and Ford where the employees hate their jobs while there are other companies (sometimes in the very same industries) like Southwest and Costco where the employees love theirs—even with lower salaries.
I’m tired of our leaders making nice with the cliques of thugs running the most horrible countries in the world because they think there might be a buck in it for an American company somewhere.
I’m tired of false equivalences. Neither we nor our government are as bad as the mullahs in Iran or the religious police in Saudi or the gangsters in the Chinese Politburo. George Bush has lots of shortcomings (where do I begin?). But he’s not a Hitler or a Kim Jong-Il and claiming he is just makes me angry. And tired. Clinton wasn’t as bad as his detractors made out, either.
We hear ya’ Dave.

Truest paragraph I’ve read in quite a while. Thank you!
If one is going to criticize something one needs to stand apart from it.
This piece suffers from many of the ills it rails on.
Dave,
why do you get angry when idiots make stupid comparisons, like Bush and Hitler.
Take it with humor like The Right Placedoes.
I like Dave a lot and read his blog but why do we see something here on Dave being tired? Your site looks a lot better when it deals with news stories and not individual bloggers.
