7 Not true! Some care, but others stand in the way. Many things would be
8 otherwise if those who do not care, would stop bothering and getting
9 in the way of those who do care. It is that simple!

11 The Domino effect....

13 One person cares, others see, so more care as a result.
14 One person does NOT care, other see, so more do NOT care as a result.

16 It just takes 1 domino to drop to start the chain reaction. Yet for
17 years people just say there is no one to do the work. When that is NOT
18 the case. How does blocking and running off the few who care do the
19 work help to fix problems, bugs, etc. Much less draw in others to
20 do the same. That says to others, WE do not care. Thus we run off those
21 who do care and will do the work.

23 Do something! Lead follow or GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!!
