This was to my recollection the first time Obama admitted his campaign had made a mistake. Up to that point it was by most accounts a masterful campaign; in fact, an almost perfect campaign.]]> no@spam.com (Jack Deal) Fri, 25 Apr 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.BigArticles.com/articles/341191/1/Did-Obamas-Arrogance-Trump-His-Intelligence/Page1.html http://www.BigArticles.com/articles/340827/1/Is-Traditional-Politics-Dead/Page1.html
Our vote has become a self interest vote which is part of democracy's strength and also part of its weakness. The poor vote one way and the rich another; the poor vote hoping to get a free piece and the rich vote to keep all of their pieces and not have to share any.]]> no@spam.com (Jack Deal) Fri, 25 Apr 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.BigArticles.com/articles/340827/1/Is-Traditional-Politics-Dead/Page1.html http://www.BigArticles.com/articles/338456/1/Is-Your-Own-Personal-Comfort-Zone-Holding-You-Back/Page1.html
In other words, if one felt comfortable then this secure, comfortable feeling was an indication that one had fallen behind the innovation curve, a detriment to success. The implication was that innovation is inherently a tenuous and uncertain thing and that making it into a 'comfort' thing is very bad strategy.]]> no@spam.com (Jack Deal) Fri, 18 Apr 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.BigArticles.com/articles/338456/1/Is-Your-Own-Personal-Comfort-Zone-Holding-You-Back/Page1.html http://www.BigArticles.com/articles/337076/1/How-Internal-Corruption-Prevents-the-Economic-Development-of-Indigenous-Peoples/Page1.html
Imagine an indigenous populist political candidate from a populist political party running for mayor.

In January 2006 AMLO was ahead in the polls outdistancing his nearest rivals by two to one; an insurmountable lead in a three party race.]]> no@spam.com (Jack Deal) Thu, 10 Apr 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.BigArticles.com/articles/335257/1/New-York-Times-Fooled-by-Mexican-Populist-Demagogue/Page1.html http://www.BigArticles.com/articles/334777/1/California-Real-Estate-No-Longer-California-Dreaming/Page1.html
Not too many years back realtors were knocking on doors trying to find listings because property values were shooting up. It was reminiscent of Tokyo real estate in the 1990's, a time when any fool could make money in real estate.]]> no@spam.com (Jack Deal) Wed, 09 Apr 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.BigArticles.com/articles/334777/1/California-Real-Estate-No-Longer-California-Dreaming/Page1.html http://www.BigArticles.com/articles/333941/1/Why-Search-Engine-Algorithms-are-Emphasizing-Quality-Content/Page1.html

No, not really. Paperless started in a place called Silicon Valley where a few tech companies decided that paper was a relic just like the tape cassette and Corvair. Paper? We don't need any stinkin' paper...

And then there are those of us that have fought with paper all our lives. We lose it, misfile it, spill coffee on it, loan it, rip it, tear it and wrinkle it.]]> no@spam.com (Jack Deal) Thu, 03 Apr 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.BigArticles.com/articles/332003/1/Should-Your-Company-Go-Paperless/Page1.html
