Quoted from CICERO
Peter used his sons illness as a public relations opportunity for General Electric.  My God.  How many clams did that net him?  

My sentiments exactly! Funny how he did the 'emotion spin' in the beginning then took off on the 'praise ge' spin. Isn't that what he does for a living anyway? I don't remember exactly what he does, but I believe he was involved in the Rotterdam/walmart fiaco. He was 'for' walmart if I remember correctly. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Perhaps PG is setting himself up for a political run in the future, huh?

As my son lay still on his back, strapped to the conveyor bed, the machine slowly pulled him into the belly of the MRI chamber.
    This ultra-sophisticated piece of equipment is surprisingly simply designed in appearance and has the familiar GE logo prominently displayed in a soft blue color. For 45 minutes, I was alone in the exam room, staring at my boy while pacing, observing and thinking a thousand thoughts as the machine cast intermittent deafening, knocking and rapidfire rattling sounds that were thankfully muffl ed by earplugs.
    At times like this, comfort is needed, and with the thought of the other family still fresh in my mind, that comfort came in part by just staring at the GE logo, reflecting on my family and our home. I think many longtime Schenectadians feel that GE represents home.

Speechless!

No one said GE is 'bad'......they do 'create good things' and 'bring good things to life'....but when the local
yokel politicos need to step in with the unions......you will eat crow......

...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
