http://pamshouseblend.firedoglake.com/2012/01/30/one-example-of-a-tool-to-fight-the-bathroom-bill-meme-before-us-all/We, as human beings, tend to think in boxes. I remember going through Total Quality Management training in the Navy (which the Navy renamed Total Quality Leadership training), and remember hearing that phrase "paradigm shift." You know, the Broedling embraced concept of:
Fundamental change in an individual's or a society's view of how things work in the world. For example, the shift from earth to sun as the center of solar system, 'humors' to microbes as causes of disease, heart to brain as the seat of thinking and feeling.
The phrase became really overused — people who still thought in boxes pretty much used the phrase to mean "think in slightly larger boxes."
But what if the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community's non-profit organizations really began to stop ceding the "bathroom bill" meme in our community struggle for ordinary equality, and tried to think out of the box — or at least in a bigger box — to confront the meme directly?
