Hybrids!?

Well now... isn't this interesting?!   Ford, GM CEOs Heading to Washington in Hybrids

This is a new role for us... the public that is.  

Now, we have to carefully scrutinize the behavior of management staff at publicly held organizations and tell them when they are doing the wrong thing (i.e. flying corporate jets to Washington to plead for bailout money).  If we don't do this routinely, they will be prone to 'fly' off and do frivolous things... kinda' like many of our politicians.  

This must be the "check and balance" part of our great democracy my teachers unsuccessfully tried to bang into my head in high school.  Now I get it - the responsibility is ours -  as opposed to the avarice ridden minds we tend to put into high powered political and business positions.  

We are the 'check' in the equation. I guess we are up to it. Aren't we?
