Thinking once again about motivation and public versus private sector....

It occurs to me that you can load up a sports stadium with conservatives and bring in motivational speakers and get them all wound up about selling and commerce and "freedom" but I'm nto sure you can make any of them cry about it. If you tell a powerful story about how someone was denied the right to keep large amounts of profits, you're going to get anger but not tears.

If you load up a stadium with liberals and talk to them about the stuff they care about, the stuff that motivates state workers, you're going to see a FAR more emotional reaction. There will be stories about families denied santuary, etc etc.

And before someone mentions the term "freedom" in response to this post, if "freedom" means freedom to make money, then fine. Again, that's not going to move someone to tears. But if you use "freedom" in the broader sense, as freedom to live and be secure and have fair opportunities to live and eat and worship as we choose, then you're outside the topic that the first stadium would be discussing.

discuss.
