Terrorism:  "Good" vs. "Evil"
(9/13/01)


A response to Terrorism:  "Good" vs. "Evil":

Commments from our CEO:

In my last e-mail I was angry. Now I am angry and saddened.

My thoughts were emotional, not political or commercial.

I will stand by my conviction that those responsible should not walk with us on this planet. I will though take back the word 'annihilate', this was anger speaking from someone that has now cried for the victims of this attack.

This may surprise some people...I am only human.

Just as President Bush almost cried on CNN today, that does not make him less of a President. I as a CEO have the right to be angry, and to vent my emotion. This does not make me any less of a CEO or human. It makes me more of one.

Good. I'm opposed to annihilating whole countries. Genocide is nothing to advocate under any circumstances.

Hmm. You may want to check with your Board of Directors on that point. They may disagree.

Advocating genocide to your mailing list may be good for sales in the short run, but I can't believe it's good for sales in the long run.
