Too bad you fee that way. This was a discussion about BK, and yet you chose to make it personal, why?
Honor is more valuable than winning.

Not making it personal. It just sounded funny, is all. You asked about those intangibles as tho that is what we measure things by. It gives me a chuckle. We say it, fly the banners and all that, but basically give lip service to those intangibles in real life. Look at Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith. They are all those values and more. Did the Cowboys retain them? You don't produce after a bit, you are out. I don't know many more with those qualities you talk about but it didn't help them much. My employer doesn't care about my spending the weekends with disenfranchised children, etc, etc. When I am not producing, I am cut, plain and simple. What does that tell you that the world counts firstly and foremostly? It tells me that results are important. As long as you don't cause more trouble than you are worth, they will keep you. When you do, well......
