How About a Balloon Flight ? A pilot of a hot air balloon lost his orientation and lowered his flight level to about 10 m above the ground, when he saw a woman down there. He called and asked: - "Excuse me, Lady, can you tell me where I am? I promised to a friend to meet him in an hour, and I need to know my exact position." - The woman on the ground answers: - "You are in a dirigable at a height of 10 m above the ground, 40 to 41 degrees North latitude and 73 to 74 degrees West longitude." - The pilot: - "You must be an engineer". - - "You are right" says the woman, "but how did you know?" - The pilot: - "Well, everything you said is, technically, correct, but I have no idea about how to use your information, and, actually, I still don't know where I am. To be honest, you could not help me further, and all you did was to delay my flight." - The woman: - "So, you must be a CEO." - The pilot: - "True, but how do you know that?" - The woman: - "That is easy; you don't know where you are and where you are going. A big air mass has carried you to your present position. You made a promise, but you have no idea about how to keep it, and you expect the people under your level to solve your problems. As a matter of fact, you are still in the same situation as before we met, except that now, you are blaming me for your problem." - Link: http://lemotdelasemaine.com/anerie8.html#debut 
SO, IS THIS Obama’s Last Play for Ethnic Identity Politics..?? Introducing Mena, a new ethnic group created by the lame-duck administration One day in the not-too-distant future, you may be asked to stand at attention at your local ballpark — Busch Stadium, perhaps — to celebrate Mena Heritage Day. The organist will do his level best to play traditional Mena music, vendors will serve Mena delicacies, and a chorus of Mena-American children will sing the national anthem. Huh? What on earth is Mena, you ask? It is the new ethnic group created by the Obama administration to cobble together Americans with origins in the Middle East and North Africa. The group will comprise people as varied as ethnic Berbers, Arabs, Israelis, Persians, and many more. According to proposals by the Office of Management and Budget, Mena may be on the 2020 census. But if that is the case, you may persist, there is no Mena music, cuisine, race, ethnicity, or culture, so what the heck are they going to be doing at Busch Stadium? And you’d be right, technically. But that wouldn’t stop pride in Menaism from being progressively drilled into the young and unsuspecting by our schools or from being embraced by corporations and sports leagues that want to buy a little peace. And, of course, let’s not forget how government would bribe people to tick the Mena box with the full array of benefits that come in the affirmative-action cornucopia. Or that congressional districts would be carved off for Mena people so that they would be able, in the words of the amended Voting Rights Act, “to participate in the political process and to elect a candidate of their choice.” More
