It is a burden borne alone.

Keith RaboisLet us spend one day as deliberately as Nature, and not be thrown off track by every nutshell and mosquito's wing that falls on the rails.

And that company will hopefully be successful, if you have the right vision, the right strategy, and good people.

Rob CorddryBefore the internet, a journalist would write an article about a company that the company felt was unfair and missed a point. All they could do was write a letter to the editor and wait, and maybe a week later it would be printed, or not.

Everybody pulls that immediately into the debate. So it is a much more democratic field for ideas.
