Funny Business


A developer wanted to buy a farmer’s field to put up condominiums.  “What will you pay?” asked the farmer.
The developer said, “We want to do the right thing.  We will pay you what the field is worth.”
The farmer replied, “I’ll be darned if I’ll sell it for that!”
Would this conversation ever take place if people acted with integrity?  Spoke the truth?  If not, perhaps we have a head-start on living the best life possible.

“Between 1305 and the early 1800’s. the House of Taxis ran a form of pony express service all over Europe….   Its couriers clad in blue and silver uniforms, crisscrossed the continent carrying messages between princes and generals, merchants and money lenders.” –Alvin Toffler, The Third Wave We may think we are the first generation consumed by rapid communication but we are not.   Throughout our history it has been a priority. Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
