Where are the Leaders?
Ted Turner
1991 Time magazine's Man of the Year
Several weeks ago, Carl Icahn was on CNBC and was disrespected by the crew of "financial" pundits (or so called). I was so mad I could hardly see straight. Last week or so, T. Boone Pickens was on 60 Minutes. Last night, Ted Turner was on Letterman.
I know of no one with more respect than I for these icons of American Free Enterprise. But they cannot live forever. Our nation's greatest President did his time, but those eight years came and went so fast... Ronald Reagan, we miss you.
The news is really more like propaganda today. Mainstream media now believes for the most part that it is their duty to tell Americans how and what to think. There is proof to suggest that our president elect raised tens of millions of dollars illegally in order to buy the office, and to my knowledge, only Fox News covered the story. What a mess. I could scream. What good would that do?
Little. Very little indeed.
How does Ted Turner do it? Or Boone Pickens? Or Carl Icahn? Get up every day and fight the good fight. As with all life, one day theirs will end.
Who will pick up the mantle?
