Humor and Politics Make Strange Bedfellows

Okay, so here's the scoop. 

My last blog about the Red Hen really, really got things cooking with all my readers.  I had more response to that one blog than I’ve ever had before and about 95% of the responses were on the good side.  Most people found it humorous, but some did not.

In fact some people were offended by the post and that may wind up costing me something in the future.  While I don’t regret posting the Red Hen blog because as an entrepreneur I am concerned that there may be laws enacted that will limit what I do and how I do it within my own business by someone in the future and I believe in a free market economy.   The free market economy is what built this country to the highest level of any civilization in human history and I believe it will be a big part of what gets us out of our current situation.

Having said that, I can see where inside my marketing blog a political post, no matter how it was intended to be received, could have come out of left field for some... without warning as they say.  I even had someone wonder "What are they going to do with me?"  Hey, if you can't stir the pot on occasion and see what happens, what's the point?

So I accept responsibility for all my posts and all the content in them, including the Red Hen blog and staying above the line I acknowledge the fact that the Red Hen post might have been better posted somewhere else or not at all, but in any case, not in my marketing blog.

Here's what I really think: 
I think there is enough blame to go around, not just in Washington, but all across the country and if each one of us does what we can to build a coalition of people that build, rather than tear down others, it will be a better country for us all. 

And hey...  If anyone feels like they cannot give me a pass on a one-time thing, after I accepted responsibility for my content, then I wish them well.  "Let he with no sin cast the first stone..."  We can't always hit home runs and sometimes disagreement leads to communication which in turn leads to solutions.

Be well, have a great Saturday and thanks for the overwhelming amount of emails and calls.  Wow...

I am yours in marketing and life success,
