“Een studie van PricewaterhouseCoopers (verschenen in Fortis Business Focus nr 2- summer 2005) toont aan dat 70 % van de overnames en fusies falen door menselijke aangelegenheden.” (bron, FSV, HFD, HRP, HSR, PWC, U-GENT-2005, UVT). Waarom zou de GL-PVDA fusie dan een uitzondering zijn?? De fusie in 1980 van Anti-Revolutionaire Partij (ARP), Christelijk-Historische...
In 1811 schreef Joseph de Maistre (o.a. filosoof) het volgende: "Toute nation a le gouvernement qu'elle mérite." Zijn opmerking betrof toen de "nieuwe Russische constitutionele wetgeving".

Below, I've selected another 1985 song from the Rocky IV film of that year. It feels more appropriate. Actually, I regret that I have trusted the information from left-liberal media, like the New...
Today, the 2024 US presidential election will be held. My blog is not about its outcome, nor about my (current) prediction. My blog is about a topic I've used before: A Nation gets the Leader it deserves (eg, LinkedIn). Alternatively: “Every country has the government it deserves.” A phrase by the French philosopher Joseph de Maistre (1753-1821) Why do both phrases...
"Bosses have power over their workers, parents have power over their children, and, more generally, we can say that those in authority have power over their subordinates. In short, power refers to the process of social influence itself—those who have power are those who are most able to influence others." (a quote from Obedience, Power, and Leadership). Power needs...
