Assuming that this association is causal, compensation would have to explain 100% of the variation in productivity to draw the conclusions in the link.  Therefore, graph ...

	This current public discourse is boarder-line  illegal.
	</title>
	<description>
	There is a drumbeat of comments and public displays that approach threats of violence and disturbing the peace.    This is how they kill our leaders.  A pattern of escalating rhetoric framed as political activism that eventually boils over.  <br />

	Expect to see a pattern of x-bushies making inflammatory statements in books only to go on tv circuit tours stating the exact opposite.  Considering the ratio of peeps reading the book and peeps on the 24hr news cycle, its a net-message control gain.  Maddow killed when see pointed out-you guys just...

	I am glad to see others who share the same perspective.  It bothers me that we get bogged down in the trivial or inaccurate because many problems are in need of critical attention and thoughtful solutions.
