Oooh… how I would love to make this a political post… but… no, that won’t happen, so, no worry eh? LOL
This comes from the Daily Reflection for today for Alcoholics Anonymous.
What? No President?
Derived from page 132 in the 12&12;
“When told that our Society has no president having authority to govern it, no treasurer who can compel the payment of any dues, no board of directors who can cast an erring member into outer darkness, when indeed no A.A. can give another a directive and enforce obedience, our friends gasp and exclaim, ‘This simply can’t be. There must be an angle somewhere.’ These practical folk then read Tradition Two, and learn that the sole authority in A.A. is a loving God as He may express Himself in the group conscience.”
Practical? I doubt it. Lemmings… (mpo – laff)
“They dubiously ask an experienced A.A. member if this really works. The member, sane to all appearances, immediately answers, ‘Yes! It definitely does,’ The friends mutter that this looks vague, nebulous, pretty naive to them. Then they commence to watch us with speculative eyes, pick up a fragment of A.A. history, and soon have the solid facts.”
Yeah – sounds like “our” friends, lmao… did we do that to them? 
Now, imagine, what would it be like to be president of A.A.? In charge of a group of drunks! Leader of the masses of us who’s lives are unmanageable. The head of unmanageability! The most profound of the most profound!
No president indeed, however, We must remember the diversity of our personalities. That being said, there are one or two of us that are waiting for the position to become available…LOL
Hah! Matt told me a long time ago (Thankfully) that I lost the election. I asked him “What election?” He said they took a vote to decide who God was – and I lost…
Durn oldtimerzzzz
