Juran Trilogy

Just as a vegetarian can never get to the meat of things, a liberal never can get to the heart of a matter if it involves truth and reason. A California judge recently ruled that parents "do not have a constitutional right to home school their children." It takes a member of the minority, a liberal proponent of socialism to throw out free choice, parental rights, truth and reason to serve the common cause. Why? Home schooling deprives the government and teachers’ unions of control of children’s thoughts and futures. The same agenda carries on near my home. A public service announcement recruits child care providers to provide a loving, home environment to infants and toddlers. The program will at "no cost to you" help set up a businesses caring for needy children that "every family will want to use." Give me a field in which to scream! Now, and since the 1960's, a vocal minority of liberals has attempted to re-defined family to mean a single working parent bent on personal gratification facilitated by governmental support, control, education and indoctrination of offspring (not too many, of course). The natural, two-parent, husband-and-wife helpmate version of child-bearing and rearing has become unnatural. Parenthood has abrogated its duties and destiny to a place where only universal care from others and the government suffices.

Joseph Juran, a quality control analyst who lived 103 years (to what avail? ) invented the 80/20 rule about the "vital few" vs. the "trivial many." He postulated that a small number of production problems results in most quality complaints. A ‘vocal’ minority, in other words, can rule. Even though Joe looked to solve a big production problem by concentrating on some devil in the details, his principle applies ubiquitously in a society or a culture. If a vocal, influential minority like a California judge, like one state, California, like a small, powerful assemblage of liberal Democrats in each state (including my Ohio under a Democrat Governor) or in either House of Congress are allowed to push their agendas - the majority of Americans will be forced to follow and conform. The Juran trilogy for a successful business strategy was "planning, control, improvement." Which 20% are planning and controlling but not improving our freedom and commitment to personal responsibility? Which 80% are allowing truth and reason to be chipped away in the process of this liberal, socialist, reconstruction?
