Business Leaders For Sensible Priorities
Business Leaders For Sensible Priorities - A non-partisan, non-political, rational governance organization.

Advised by retired admirals and generals, Business Leaders for Sensible Priorities' 650 members include the present or former CEOs of Bell Industries, Black Entertainment Television, Goldman Sachs, Men's Warehouse, and Phillips Van Heusen - as well as Ted Turner and Paul Newman.

The man is an artist, deftly daubing words and images from far domains onto a plain canvas, gently touching old dreams and memories to craft a compelling creation, all soft and sweet, except for the sharp edges, which can be very sharp.
The danger of enjoying him too much is that it can inspire one to attempt to scale the heights he owns, even those who should not take on the project, because they lack the necessary equipment.
