Corporate Philosophy

Seems like it is working. Kubota's seem to be popular. I bought one because I felt like it was the best tractor for the money. Of course, the only environment that American environmentalist want to see is one without humans. Long live the tractor!!!!!

Hey, Mike, that's just not true. Sure, there are some radical environmentalists around, but a lot of 'em just want to keep people from screwing up the outdoors we all enjoy playing and working in. And who doesn't want that?

Sorry for the OT post.

"screwing up the outdoors "

Define scewing up the outdoors /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif, I am with the other feller, apparently a screwed up outdoors is one that includes humans using technology that is their instictive behavorial activity. Birds build nests, monkeys eat bannanas, humans build things like Saturn Vs and tractors and pyramids and Golden Gate Bridges and everything that goes with doing that. J

( ( The mission statement is a feel good item. A cost of doing business. Rarely do such statements reflect the average person's general impression of the corporation. But the lofty nature of them provides great PR. )

AMEN! Although I'm not so sure it's even good PR. )

I respectfully dissagree, without a plan, without direction, without some goal though lofty and grandiose and couched in flowery verbage how does one be they an individual or a company or a nation (the Declaration of Independence is our Mission Statement for the USA and was given teeth with the Bill of Rights and supported by the structure of the Constitution) know where they are going or have direction to move in? /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gifJ

I guess I just feel like there are limits to how far we ought to go doing what's instinctive. If I did everything instinctive without worrying about the consequences my marriage would be ruined, for one thing. I guess it depends on what you mean by "everything that goes with it." If you mean "anything goes," like it doesn't matter how badly we sh*t in our own house, then we'll just have to respectfully disagree. But I expect that you aren't yourself a house-sh*tter...that you believe in taking care of stuff and probably wouldn't dump poison into a lake and kill all the fish, or stink up the air in the neighborhood just to make a dollar. If so, then I believe the difference between you and some of those environmentalists isn't as big as you might think.

Jim, I suspect we are really very close in our thoughts. I think sometimes people forget that the things humans do to the environment or to the environment as a result of our technological instictive behavoirs IS a PART of the eco-system not apart from it. We unlike the monkey eating the bannana however do have a responsibility to our maker and to all his creation to treat it with respect. Yeah, I probably agree with you /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif. J

I used to work for a large Japanense company Called Matasu****a(or as you know it Panasonic) they all have that propaganda for us to believe. Dont believe everything you read they are all about the mighty dollar.
Kub is a great Tractor but never trust them. For Dec 7th 1941 they changed the world maybe for the better but do you ever wonder what it would be like if our ladies hadnt of had to go to work to support the war effort.

Well golly, then they would all be at home changing diapers and making dinners and not taking good paying jobs away from hard working american men. Sounds real good until I remember that the cooking and the cleaning and diapering is my job, and I like it a lot. The wife on the other hand doesn't like cooking and cleaning and diapering so she has the good paying job that puts meat on my table and clothes on my kids.

Now, hopefully I misinterpreted that post of yours /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Not to change topics, but the WWII thing could be taken multiple ways. I think it was the start of the two parent income... That increased the number of workers into the job market. Numerous other issues begin from there.
