Pointy Haired Bush

Making Light picks up pretty much the same things I did in the last post, but are a bit more thorough in the exploration if it.

There's a nice diversion to look at corporate culture in general and motivational posters in specific. Making Light has collected the slogans from a number of these. Looking at them in one big lump is really quite disturbing:

Reflections on the relationship between labor and management:

• Destiny is a matter of choice, not chance
  
• Power gravitates to the man who has courage.
  
• We make way for the one who pushes past us.
  
• The block of granite which was an obstacle in the path of the weak, becomes a stepping stone in the path of the strong
  
• It is a sad fact that regardless of effort or talent, second place really means you are first in a long line of losers.

There's something horribly wrong about that last one in particular.
