If you think of the human brain as similar to a computer, everyone who communicates is essentially like a programmer. Any statement we make that is received as input to another person must be processed by them, often involuntarily. The message is the code. A message, once received, is interpreted by the person who receives it. It can cause all of the functions that occur in computers (store, recall, alter, execute a process, return a response to a specific event/condition, etc).

We need written Q&A content on major issues that give each local political leader (all levels) 2-3 lines to respond.

1/n Have all of them on an email list (or call list). Give them 48 business hours to respond. Post the question or questions. If they exceed 3 lines, don't quote or summarize, just cut it off with an ellipsis...

There are counter-examples of most things in life. But one of the areas of concern I see repeatedly in #CapeBreton is the downgraded probability of success that is necessary to apply to our biggest hail mary strategies based on failure to perform on some basic core competencies. We have a sense of a competency-drain. This isn't to say there aren't brilliant, competent people who live here. I know several of them just within my small circle of colleagues, each with their own area of brilliance. But we can't defy economics.
