You make it sound so simple. All we have to do is yell, "Our Goal is Restoration!", click our heels, and voila!, everything will be back to the way it should be! Right? Wrong!

Okay, I know that's not what you think. So why don't you (not just you, but others too) stop trying to make it sound like that's what I think?

Here's something you apparently don't know (or maybe you do know it but it just doesn't fit your support for DALPA?). Any successful business or organization sets appropriate goals and objectives. That's a starting point for developing strategies to accomplish those goals and objectives. It's "Business 101" stuff. Our MEC has not done this. Or if they have, they've certainly made it a well kept secret.... which is in and of itself a problem because of the need to get us all on board and pulling in the same direction.

Bottom line... do you really think we can accomplish something as huge as restoration without defining it as a goal? Do you think our MEC leaders can just go about quietly working towards restoration without telling any of us (or anyone else) and actually achieve it? I guess anything's possible, but that would be pretty darned unorthodoxed and goes against fundamental, time tested concepts of achieving success. If you're comfortable with rolling the dice on something that defies logic like that, more power to ya. But I'm going to stick with good, sound concepts for success when evaluating who I want representing me. So far, from what I've seen, ALPA/DALPA is a big FAIL.
