My first post on Personal Accountability will be about ways we can help others. How does helping others translate into "personal" accountability? Nearly every religion on this planet includes some proverb or prescription about feeding the poor or helping those in need. If you ask me, it's a very endearing characteristic of humans - the ability to look beyond our own needs and help others who may not survive otherwise.

What can we do as the bureaucrats duke out the details of health care reform? Maybe Whole Foods CEO, John Mackey, had it right. It's time for personal accountability.
