Power Out of Control!

Power Quote for the Week

Welcome to Sunday's regular feature. Every week you can look for a witty, wise, or profound quotation from assorted folks about power.

I choose these quotations about power as it refers to electricity, since that is what this blog is about. Sometimes though, I'll select a quotation about power, as it relates to the human condition.

Mary Parker Follett (3 September 1868 – 18 December 1933) was an American social worker, management consultant and pioneer in the fields of organizational theory and organizational behavior. She said, "There are three ways of dealing with difference: domination, compromise, and integration. By domination only one side gets what it wants; by compromise neither side gets what it wants; by integration we find a way by which both sides may get what they wish."

Bringing Meaning To Madness

It is unfortunate that our government does not use integration to move our country forward. A dominate party congress does not benefit anyone, where the new laws lead to more government control. Where are the real checks and balances? Why does one party feel that government should control our lives instead of allowing us the decision to design our own lives according to the original intent of the Constitution? Do you know the difference between a Republic and a Democracy? The United States of America is a Republic! Our current dominate party has set the path towards a democracy - the downfall of a great nation.
