Alan Weiss’s Monday Morning Memo® – 3/11/13
March 11, 2013—Issue #181
This week’s focus point: We simply can’t expect our lives to be regulated into absolute safety. An undercover TSA trainer successfully took a fake bomb through security at Newark Airport last week, even after a pat-down. Zero tolerance for weapons has resulted in five-year-olds being removed from school for using their fingers to point an imaginary gun. Europe has some of the most stringent rules and regulations I know of, including a punctilious focus on food ingredients, the font of the printing on food labels, and careful descriptions of origins. Yet, they are in the midst of a huge horse meat scandal, because relatives of Secretariat have shown up in meatballs and steaks. We need judgment in our lives, not more rules. Apparently, the most fastidious of rules and bureaucracies often fail to distinguish between a cow and a horse.
