Hold on- not only out of the mouths of babes- but from Frisco, Texas (part of the DFW [Dallas-Fort Worth] Metroplex) to boot.

So, a few weeks ago, I reported that the social contract between business and its employees, between business and its communities may find itself revived. You know, the one that was abrogated under the prodding of Dr. Milton Friedman.

If you don’t want to read a political blog, today is the day to skip reading mine. Because I have had more than enough of the stupidity that obtains in Republican politics. It’s why I’m actually breaking into the queue- because if yesterday weren’t a holiday, I would have published this article then- right after these “facts” became news.
