The tribal wisdom of the Dakota Indians, passed on from generation to
generation, says that, "When you discover that you are riding a dead
horse, the best strategy is to dismount." However, in government,
education, and in corporate America, more advanced strategies are
often employed, such as;

1. Buying a stronger whip.

2. Changing riders.

3. Appointing a committee to study the horse.

4. Arranging to visit other countries to see how other cultures ride horses.

5. Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included

6. Reclassifying the dead horse as living-impaired .

7. Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse.

8. Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed.

9. Providing additional funding and/or training to increase dead horse's performance.

10. Doing a productivity study to see if lighter riders would improve the dead horse's performance.

11. Declaring that as the dead horse does not have to be fed, it is less costly, carries lower overhead and therefore contributes substantially more to the bottom line of the economy than do some other horses.

12. Rewriting the expected performance requirements for all horses.

And of course my favourite ............

13. Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position.

Perhaps more true of other places than corporate America. Perhaps more likely to get worse than better in those other places than in corporate America. Additionally, since those folks only had horses for a very few generations, such things hardly count as wisdom. And most of you can recognize that.

You have given away the Democratic Party planning for the next election! You are in trouble now!!!
