After reading your selected passages on "if you say fine, mean it" and "you can always veto with your feet", I decided this would be an article worth fully reading. Unfortunately, those were the best parts (you've got a good editorial eye!), and some of the article was rubbish (such as the part talking about political leanings). Oh well. I hope, at least, that everybody takes the parts you quoted to heart.
