[Oe List ...] Want to discuss consensus?

[Carlos R. Zervigon]

If you are pure in your stance you finally are a group of one that can get
nothing done. Stand on your principles and be ineffective. Politics is a
healthy science that acknowledges that we live in community and must make
decision s as such. Effective and creative leadership helps form consensus
on a creative, inclusive, depth and futuristic context but does not bully
it's way through charismatic demagoguery. Margaret Thatcher was a guardian
of the illusionary past and did not contribute much to a future for the
planet. Herman Greene however has made his mark many dimensions above
Margaret.

I received this morning meditation today:

 

Lord, guard me in my convictions.

"To me consensus seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs,
principles, values and policies in search of something in which no one
believes, but to which no one objects--the process of avoiding the very
issues that have to be solved merely because you cannot get agreement on the
way ahead. What great cause would have been fought and won under the banner
'I stand for consensus?'" -- Margaret Thatcher in a 1981 speech as reported
