Great reminder Deb. Thanks for the post!  The ultimatum game (like any analogy) comes up a bit short in one regard. Done well, the two parties can end up with more than $10. When we work together we create abundance and intrinsic reward.  We get $0 if the 2nd party says no, we get some portion of $10 if the offer isn't fair and we get much more than $10 if we can agree with energy and commitment and find a synergistic solution.  There's more at stake than just the $10.

Once again, thanks for your reminder. I hope we always remember that voting is an idea and a privilege our founders worked to create and many before us have fought to defend.  Mike...
