[at-l] Horse Plaque---

[Lee Parker]

Leslie, while I understand your sentiments, I think you are misunderstanding
(perhaps purposefully) the intent of the message. The fact that it was in a
horse themed catalog perhaps contributed to the way you took it...

This is one of those "inspirational" themed messages that are published in
droves on pretty lithographs, framed and sold for $$$. It is supposed to be
promoting divergent thinking as a path to success, which of course as any
one in corporate America will tell you is anything BUT the path to
success....

Hmm, on second thought, maybe you didn't take it wrong after all <grin>
