However in the new-world-order of the Bylaws changes, the EVP will be much more in focus to the AMA membership. That will give an EVP with vision the opportunities to really carry the true AMA message to the public. You know, I do like that. [sm=thumbs_up.gif]
That's odd, Horrace. Just eight days ago the other side of your mouth said (and I quote):
"
The Bylaws vote passed much to my sorrow. The ED Mr Cherry informed me that 51% of the leader members voted and passed the new change by 96%. Again much to my sorrow as the new functions of the EVP places him into nothing more than a flunky for the EC. "
Which is it, Horrace? Or does it just change on a message by message basis to suit whatever point you may be trying to make at the particular time?
Which is it? [sm=thumbs_up.gif] or "sorrow" & "flunky"?
Mitchell, it's both. I am with sorrow that the Leader Members in their uninformed naive state-of-mind passed this ludicrous change to the Bylaws. A person with a "I must do as they do, as they tell me, and not make any waves" attitude will simply be the flunky, the lackey, the go-fer in the position. OTOH a person such as I, that doesn't listen to the "everybody does it" philosophy just may have never-before opportunities to perfom significant services for AMA and the membership. Might I make mistakes? Certainly! _ell man I am no virgin to mistakes. BTDT many times, yet as Albert Einstein said, "A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new."
Life is full of lemons. OTOH I find lemonade to be most refreshing, especially when a tad of
ABSOLUT is added. There is seldom any length of time goes by that something doesn't happen that really gets me big time. Then I mix the lemonade and it seems that each time, I find the hidden opportunity within, look up and say, "Thank YOU, SIR."
Mitchell, I fully recognize that you, with your very limited perspective of those things outside your immediate touch and control, find it very difficult to comprehend someone being able to flex with the situation. However there are so many horizons, and so many beautiful sunsets, along with the next tomorrow's dawning, life is just too short to not to be able to adjust, and see the bad along with the good.
Yesterday, I was carrying my 22 month old grand-daughter, walking down the 200 ft. drive to the mailbox. She had her arm around my neck and she said, "PaPa I love you."
You see Mitchell, there ain't nothin' in this world that can really hurt me. I have everything. Pick all you want.
