WHO WOULD SURVIVE?

I have two questions for Hampton Roads residents:

1. What would your agency, business, church or other organization be like if every person who had misrepresented himself as much as Admiral Boorda did, or more than Admiral Boorda did, checked out and went home next Thursday at noon?

2. Would it affect the way you do business or conduct yourself if you knew that what you were doing would be evaluated by an intelligent, informed and objective person and written up to be presented on the front page of tomorrow's local newspaper, during the 5 p.m. radio news or on the 10 p.m. television news?
