Tonight General Tony Zinni, USMC (Ret.)!  He is the co-author of 
In Leading the Charge: Leadership Lessons From the Battlefield to the Boardroom, the former commander-in-chief of CENTCOM discusses the importance of ethics in decision making.
Anthony Charles Zinni (born September 17, 1943) is a retired four-star General in the United States Marine Corps and a former Commander in Chief of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM). In 2002, he was selected to be a special envoy for the United States to Israel and the Palestinian Authority. While serving as special envoy, Zinni was also an instructor in the Department of International Studies at the Virginia Military Institute. Presently, he is an instructor at the Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University, a public speaker, and an author of two best-selling books on his military career and foreign affairs, most recently Battle for Peace. He also is involved in the corporate world, joining M.I.C. Industries as its president for International Operations in 2005.
Zinni also serves on the advisory boards of eight different companies, including the security testing firm, Mu Dynamics, based in Sunnyvale, California. He joined Duke University's Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy in Spring 2008 as the Sanford Distinguished Lecturer in Residence and taught a new course in the Hart Leadership Program.

I need to go watch it again. There was something I recall... yeah... he said GOODNIGHT really loud! ~~~ edit to add ~~~ OK - I didn't miss as much as I thought. It was the interview that knocked me out but it was good. What a lucky kid to get all of those books. Well... most of those books anyway. And what's up with Freesia's mom? First off I considered naming my daughter that and though its one of my fav flowers, I just couldn't do it. The woman is wearing a cross on her neck and her daughter is still in high school and the kid is on the pill. What mature, responsible, sexually active woman takes her pills to school and pops one in the lunchroom? Was that her normal time to take it? Did she forget to take her pill the night before? The bit was funny but quite honestly I pretty much agreed since any prescription medication is supposed to be declared and administered by the nurse or a teacher. Good for the parent to be open minded and communicating and providing birth control. Good for the minor to be able to go to her mom about sex. Where is the self respect training?! That kid was on an ego trip that her mom allows her to have the pills and she is SHOWING THEM OFF at school. How about they show off some condoms now eh?

WTF??? This isn't the dark ages, mostly girls are sexually active in high school. I should HOPE they carry condoms with them. And it's completely ridiculous nowadays where you can't take even a Midol at school. When I was in high school kids smoked weed in the bathrooms. Couldn't they find a middle ground?

Just because someone is on the pill doesn't mean they are having sex. Some women use birth controls to avoid severe cramps and to regulate or skip periods. Although I think the whole drug thing is ridiculous, that girl could have wait until after school to take them.

Hi, lazzy, Eris and ghostrider! What a beautiful man Stephen Colbert is, "a hard rain washing the scum off the streets" - ha ha! -like Freesia Jackson, the straight-A drug addict, and Dominic Philip, evil incarnate! That's tough love! "Gravity's Rainbow"! Paul Krugman's "The Return of Depression Ecomomics"! I hope Stephen catches the person dressing up as Bigfoot! He switched to menthol cigarettes! Justice is blind and topless! What a hoot! What a beautiful thing - sending Harry Potter, signed by Stephen, in a collector's chest. "Sean, you will be missed?" The vanity tax - Stephen's botox! Pushing the elderly off the cliff is a time-honored solution.... "Leading the Charge" ! Thank-you for the reminder, for the encouragement, General Anthony Zinni. Stephen and General Zinni, Richard Branson understands the most important thing of all. What fun is. I know Barack Obama does, and I am certain David Petraeus must know as well. Feeling good (being healthy), having fun. What we fight for, the meaning of life. Thank-you, Stephen and Anthony Zinni! Message Edited by The Eloquent Baby on 08-04-2009 10:26 AM
