BS: A Moral Hymn by Dick Greenhaus

I thought in these times of rationalized killing and financial malfeasance, that you all might enjoy this uplifting song of ethics by our revered DT guru himself.

Regards,

Excellent. I heard a great quote in a movie remake of "Sabrina" with Harrison Ford, who played an uptight, multi-billion-dollar business tycoon. The title character was telling him what people said behind his back, two of which were:

He's the world's only living heart donor; and

He thinks morals are paintings on walls and scruples are money in Russia!

Thanks, Amos. I think I have a new favorite song. Does Bruce Phillips know about this one?

And of course, thanks especially to Dick.

I might or might not like that song...I'd like to tell you, but upon advice of my attorney, I respectfully deline to answer under the protection afforded me by the Constitution of the US.

(besides, I sold my shares in "Greenhaus Morality Music" for $64,000,000...so who cares!)

Bill,

Considering your testimony, you are off the hook with a light sentence -- you have to memorize Dick's song and sing it to sixty-four million people.

I wouldn't call this BS.

I'm reminded of Chesterton's "song for times of financial crisis and courage". Very topical.

There's a run upon the bank
Stand away!
For the Manager's a crank
and the Secretary drank
and the Upper Tooting Bank
Turns to Bay!
Stand close: there is a run
On the Bank.

I've always liked Dick. Now I know why.

The song was a gut reaction to the supposedly liberal Consumer's Union hiring a supposedly-liberal CEO named Rhoda Karpatkin whose main function was to bust the union there.
