DAMAGE CONTROL There seems to be a special opportunity for young people who are seeking an opportunity to enter a field of business where a lucrative future seems to be assured.
How about training to become an expert in the constantly expanding field of "Damage Control"?
It is now being used in practically every occupational area, too...and perhaps any self-confident, naturally domineering, intrinsically stubborn, tenacious, cantankerous individual can rise quickly and even excel in a specialized field in which good qualities can be set aside and bad ones made to appear as being made to appear to be replacements as good, enduring, proper and undisputed merit in whatever you wish to call "all".
The initial problem to be solved is yourself.
Obviously, you can't stand yourself or you would not be so eager to change. You've come this far! You know this is an opportunity! Are you going to chicken-out again? Or, are going to out-macho today's finest; place your noble profile in the bright rays of enlightenment and revel in the absorption of glory of wearing the laurel wreath of pure intelligence - knowledge of one's self!
You have a world of new clients! You have, for instance, a member of one of the largest and finest legislative bodies who was caught exchanging sexy notes with young boy "pages" of his office domain. His former co-workers say he needs to undertake some serious "Damage Control measures.
They need some such treatment themselves to restore a more pleasant aroma to their occupational area. The boy or boys, DC, as well to learn not to trust adults indiscriminately, or E-mail or Instant Messenger addicts need for companionship. The need for expert damage control is always in the Presidential office because most presidents have host of things they have to keep quiet about until the right time. Scandal has come to the White House in a visible entity and large chunks of of fix-it materials had to be applied to keep classic case under control during the Clinton-onian Error Era. Occurrences of a that caliber are rare, but one has be ready for whatever might strike without any real alerts being sounded.
Why not establish an office or department of accountability wherein professional Damage Control Ph D's or better would be in charge to mend such things as they happen rather than wait for years until they fester into festivals of shame and disgrace. After all, we Americans seem to want to feel our elected official to be "a regular feller"..."one of the boys" -"just like you and me....like so many of the rest of us."
