Well another thread down the tubes. Instead of making recommendations for change all I see is why we can't make them from J_R and Hoss. That wasn't the point of the thread.

Now you see why people are frustrated with the AMA. If people who profess to be in the know have given up hope of change and continue to repeat the negative-ism that is being put forth then you can understand why there is such a low turn out for elections. It has been beaten into them for so long that it can not be changed that they stopped trying to change it and just go flying.

Have you noticed that this thread started out with several good ideas but as soon as the ney sayers came in people stopped their input.

I had hoped that this thread would be allowed to run its course so that good ideas could be expressed and discussed, but some cannot allow that to happen. They have this inside desire to see the status quo continue regardless of what they may sometimes profess.

On another day such a topic as this will come up and I hope that on that day that these people will allow that thread to run its course without the "It can't be changed" input.

I for one think it can be changed, FOR THE BETTER, and in a reasonable time period and will support any canidate that I see is trully looking to make those changes. At some point in the future I will probably be one of those canidates, when time and family allow it. Until that point I will continue to argue on behalf of those who feel change is nessary for the good of the AMA and will not be swayed by the establishment guard who say it can't. I removed can't from my vocabulary along time a go. To me can't means you just gave up. There is always a way.
