Monday was a busy day. I got up at 500 am; prepared for the day and the launch of Monumental Report. I answered my email and left early for the office. I started the day at Kettler Capitals Iceplex and had some meetings. I then went and worked for most of the day at our Revolution Fund offices in DC. I then went to Verizon Center and had some meetings. Then I attended our first home preseason game and hosted about 30 business associates in the Owners Box. I walked around the arena and checked out the netting. I then left the arena and drove to the airport and flew on a friend’s private jet with seven other people to get to NYC; we arrived at 1100ish and drove to the hotel. It was a long day. I worked hard. On Tuesday I was up early – attended two long meetings in NYC and then went right to the train station where I took the Acela train home. The train was late because of a power failure; hence I had 4.5 hours on the train to power through my email. I was startled by what I saw – I had emails from eight media outlets asking me to come on their show to talk about politics – and my blog post on Class Warfare. I declined them all by the way. I had more than 200 emails from folks with very passionate views on my blog post. I would have to say that the commentary was dramatic and pretty pointed. I thought – wow – lots of people read my blog post. I then went to Google and typed in my name and the title of my blog. Wow! So that was why so many people were commenting. My blog post went viral. And it was being recycled and spun by both left and right. Some of the recycling took a phrase and made that the point of their argument. Some took exception to what I wrote – some embraced it all. The comments were very passionate in these blog posts. Sports and politics seem to activate passion from people. But I think some of the atmospherics are being missed. I want us to be all a part of the solution of what ails us .I think creating jobs is mandate one for our country. All politics is local and there is nothing as personal and local as men and woman working to support their families. I wasn’t really doing a political rant. I was asking for mutual respect between public and private sectors and for embracing business people that support the process. Work hard – create jobs – support charities – and try to do the right things. There is something intrinsically American about starting a business; creating jobs and sometimes creating wealth. We are a self-made country. This should be celebrated. Team building, embracing all to get to a right answer is the right process. As I have noted – we are all in it together. We need a collective oneness now to solve some very big problems. I thank you for reading my blog and for commenting ; I appreciate it most when people read my entire blog post to get the nuance and the real message. I have no political aspirations. I am not really political. I am deeply and passionately involved in enterprises that hire people; provide services and in philanthropy. I have supported financially both Republicans and Democrats. I am totally independent in my thinking and leanings. I use my blog to self-express. Now let us get back to our regularly scheduled programming; and talk about that black vs. white netting!
