“For example: (1) As if governed by Newton's First Law of Motion, an institution will resist any change in its current direction; (2) Just as work expands to fill available time, corporate projects or acquisitions will materialize to soak up available funds; (3) Any business craving of the leader, however foolish, will be quickly supported by detailed rate-of-return and strategic studies prepared by his troops; and (4) The behavior of peer companies, whether they are expanding, acquiring, setting executive compensation or whatever, will be mindlessly imitated.” IfsFirstsLawCompanyLeaderStudyExampleReturnBehaviorProjectsInstitutionsPreparedRateCurrentsAvailableFoolishSettingSettingsCorporateFundExecutivesTroopsPeersExpandingCravingCompensationStrategicNewtonAcquisitionLaws Of MotionExecutive Compensation Book:Warren Buffett on Business: Principles from the Sage of Omaha Source: Warren Buffett on Business: Principles from the Sage of Omaha

“(H)er qualifications for the Supreme Court are non-existent. She is not a brilliant jurist, indeed, has never been a judge. She is not a scholar of the law. Researchers are hard-pressed to dig up an opinion. She has not had a brilliant career in politics, the academy, the corporate world or public forum. Were she not a friend of Bush, and female, she would never have even been considered.” WorldHardLawOpinionCareersJudgingFemaleCourtBrilliantSupremeCorporateScholarSupreme CourtAcademyResearchersQualificationsForumsCorporate WorldJurists Author:Pat Buchanan
“You want sanity, democracy, community, an intact Earth? We can't get there, obeying Constitutional theory and law crafted by slave masters, imperialists, corporate masters, and Nature destroyers. We can't get there, kneeling before robed lawyers stockpiling class plunder precedent up their venerable sleeves. So isn't disobedience the challenge of our age? Principled, inventive, escalating disobedience to liberate our souls, to transfigure our work as humans on this Earth.” WantHumansSoulAgeEarthLawCommunityChallengesClassDemocracyMastersTheorySlaveLawyerCorporateSanityDisobedienceSleevesPrecedentDestroyersObeyingPlunderKneelingPrincipledEscalating Author:Richard Grossman
