As Harold Klemp and many others would say, "with freedom comes responsibility". Maybe industry, of late protected in its greed, needs to be squeezed a while by the ill finessed constraints of government control to actively appreciate the upside of self-discipline, "co-operation" and self regulation.

]]> Comment on To Reboot or Not to Reboot by Marian Salzman http://peterflatow.com/blog/2009/01/01/to-reboot-or-not-to-reboot/comment-page-1/#comment-4 Marian Salzman Fri, 02 Jan 2009 15:24:52 +0000 http://peterflatow.com/blog/?p=64#comment-4 Granted we are wacked out on buzzwords. The New York Times list for 2008 includes fail, malus and change (and, of course, frugalista, staycation, and lipstick on a pig). But reboot is the word going forward, because anything less is … system failure. Tom Friedman wrote it better than I ever could: “Our present crisis is not just a financial meltdown crying out for a cash injection. We are in much deeper trouble. In fact, we as a country have become General Motors—as a result of our national drift. Look in the mirror: G.M. is us. That’s why we don’t just need a bailout. We need a reboot. We need a build out. We need a buildup. We need a national makeover.” —Thomas Friedman, “Time to Reboot America,” New York Times, Dec. 24, 2008 In my mind, reboot will mean relaunching the American Dream: multicultural, community-focused, older values, a new national purpose. And the new administration must also reboot with serious smarts and heavyweight scientists and experts at the top. Then innovation will be the positive outcome. Here's hoping?
