I wasn't talking about the ALPA National angle of this. I was mainly talking about DALPA and I was making the point that their lack of a restorative objective isn't based on them being motivated to achieve less but rather their belief that restoration isn't possible. Don't get me wrong, this belief they have RESULTS in a lack of motivation to achieve restoration (why waste energy try to do something you think is impossible?), but I don't think it's because they have some burning desire to hold us down. Our leadership (listening to guys like Harwood, White, Hanson, etc.) is simply misguided. That's the problem I'm trying to highlight.

I'll take Rich Harwood's work if he was all but passed out drunk over anybody the doughnuts could put up. Who do you think would do a better job for us, and how would they do it? "Motivation" and goals only get you so far. Good grief.
