Dependent people need others to get what they want.
Independent people can get what they want through their own efforts.
Interdependent people combine their own efforts with the efforts of others to achieve their greatest success.

Does government have a mandate to inspect window screens or placement of your BBQ grill, check for matching drapes? https://t.co/YxazkFcC8G— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 25, 2016
Donald Trump does not make a good faith effort to hire local hospitality workers for some of his properties. https://t.co/HvSyVYVngb— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 25, 2016
We need to reform our guest worker programs. One friend is a naturalized indian immigrant I met as an H1B. He was an indentured servant.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 25, 2016
The game playing with H1B's also affects local competition. For example, I once responded to a relevant classified ad; I was never contacted— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 25, 2016
One time I contacted the Michigan employment office to complain. The employer lied to the agency they had tried to contact me. No follow-up.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 25, 2016
Another game employers like to play is to overspecify the position. They may specify a checkilst of say a dozen "essential" items/versions.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 25, 2016
Donald Trump was a high school athlete (baseball, football, soccer) but got a medical deferment from Vietnam. Yet he criticizes McCain.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 25, 2016
Rich daddies' boys like Trump didn't have to go to war because some chickenhawk politicians wanted to meddle in external conflicts.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 25, 2016
Yet Trump wants to restore waterboarding and "a lot worse" for US-held POW's, which McCain, with permanent war injuries, opposes.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 25, 2016
Interesting back & forth between Apple and FBI on the San Bernandino iPhone. Apple says by resetting the iCloud password the FBI screwed up.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 25, 2016
New backups from iPhone are disabled. FBI says it has the old backups but iCloud doesn't back up everything & the last backup is not recent— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 25, 2016
Apple is working to strengthen security on iCloud, which is good because hacks would violate customer privacy. FBI is on fishing expedition.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 25, 2016
There seems to be a broader issue of property rights. What right does the government have to conscript someone to provide a product/service?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 25, 2016
In general, if and when the police wreck private property, quite often unnecessarily in shock and awe raids, they should reimburse the owner— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 25, 2016
Now if Apple wanted to develop a data recovery service for device owners or the government with a search warrant at a premium, no problem.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 25, 2016
I do have a problem with government telling the only baker in town that it has to bake them a cake.Most bakers will not leave money on table— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 25, 2016
Now if I query Google for iPhone data recovery, a number of vendors are identified. McAfee and others would be willing to help. Why Apple?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 25, 2016
Cruz and Rubio get a final gunfight with Trump tonight, last chance before Super Tuesday. You need to target the fascist,not each other— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 25, 2016
Rubio needs to show that he has the cojones to kick Trump's ass tonight. Trump will shoot himself in the feet, to go along with bone spurs.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 25, 2016
I would suggest a drinking game every time Trump says we never win anymore, make America great, we will build a wall, etc.: everyone drunk.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 25, 2016
Image of the DayLike Clinton, Bush, and Obama, Trump will make America worse again. Your vote is a terrible thing to waste on a self-serving political whore— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 25, 2016
