The Carnegie Course in Reverse or How NOT to win friends and influence people

There will be no disclaimer in this blog entry. I AM OUTRAGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Freedom to speak our minds is a God given right of all citizens however there are occasions when one should follow the advice of Mister Lincoln and "...remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."

I have for very many years enjoyed the wide variety of products produced by the PepsiCo company; however as an extremely OUTRAGED and INSULTED AMERICAN VETERAN i will NEVER DRINK A SINGLE DROP or otherwise spend ONE SINGLE PENNY of my money on ANY of their products so long as Ms Indra Nooyi remains connected in any way (active or inactive) with them.

You want to see America give someone the middle finger Ms Nooyi? I believe you are going to see MANY OUTRAGED AMERICAN CONSUMERS DO JUST THAT TO YOU AND YOUR COMPANY.

a brief aside to the CEO of PepsiCo .... fire her within minutes or get her resignation within seconds and you may survive .... do nothing and you will LOSE MILLIONS of customers... of dollars ... and most importantly of hard earned public respect.

Ms Nooyi's commencement address at Columbia University's School of Business can only be described as boorish, incredibly arrogant and patently offensive. Is America perfect??? NOT BY A LONG SHOT. Is America literally and figuratively giving the rest of the world the middle finger? NOT BY A LONG SHOT EITHER.

To say that the only impression that we give to the rest of the world and the only thing we care about doing is giving them that middle finger as she so eloquently states as her main point in address is as ludicrous as far right extremists insisting that ALL MUSLIMS are EVIL or extreme leftists insisting that EVERY ONE who wants to limit illegal immigration are RACISTS. Its not true and she KNOWS it or should ... Especially given her position as CFO of PepsiCo.

HOW MUCH HUMANITARIAN AID HAVE PEPSICO'S AMERICAN EMPLOYEES GIVEN LAST YEAR TO VARIOUS CHARITIES MS NOOYI????

The fact is, that if AMERICA IS GIVING SUCH A HUGE MIDDLE FINGER TO THE REST OF THE WORLD HOW COME EVERYONE WANTS TO BE HERE AND BE AMERICAN????

The fact is WHO ELSE BESIDE AMERICA GIVES MORE AID TO EVERYONE IN NEED??? The answer may surprise you Ms Nooyi ..... NO ONE!!!! ... not even all those other finger continents combined have ever matched the kind, amount and willingness of AMERICA to HELP OUR FELLOW HUMANS.

I spent 10 years in the USAF and have been involved in many humanitarian relief missions and I AM OUTRAGED THAT YOU MS NOOYI CAN WITH ONE HAND TAKE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN PAY AND BENEFITS FROM AMERICA, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE GREATEST EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM WORLDWIDE FROM AMERICA and with the other hand give you own MIDDLE FINGER SALUTE to us in return.

No, Americans are not perfect (no one no matter what country they are from is); yes i have personally seen many many instances of UGLY AMERICANS throughout my ten years of traveling around the globe; but i have also seen MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MORE kindness, generosity, assistance, aid, food, medicine, and personal sacrifice from AMERICA then anywhere else too.

Ms. Nooyi, you have every right to say what you believe, you have every right to feel any way you wish; but if you were honest with yourself and TRULY BELIEVED that AMERICA IS JUST A BIG MIDDLE FINGER STICKING STRAIGHT OUT SAYING [Expletive deleted] TO THE WORLD, you should give back every dime you have earned, refuse to be a part of it ANYMORE, resign your cushy position and find a place to live in one of those other GOOD FINGERS.

Come on i dare you ..... put your convictions and words where your money is ....

PUT UP OR SHUT UP. BUT DONT EVER BITE THE HAND THAT GAVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU HAVE

and

NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF THE EXTREMELY OUTRAGED AMERICAN CONSUMER.
