Thankee, Don...

Yeah, when yer part of the in crowd it's real easy to say "HJey, yer either with ue or against us" withoput givin' one danged thought that you might be wrong... Or maybe if not wrong, at least not playin' the strongest hand...

I have taught "creativity" classes on occaasion and I pick some thing like a "cindar block" and ask folks to likst as many uses for a cindar block as they can in 3 minutes... Well, most come up with about 20 or 25 uses, then when everyone has read their uses aloud and then I redo the quiz with like automobile tires in the second round everyone has at5 least 5 more uses than they had with the cindar blocks in round one...

What this means is that the more folks that are involved in the process of finding solutions to problems the greater the chances of finding the most acceptable solution...

This is my probelm with Bush... He thinks he has all the answers and therefore excludes many answers which might be more correct than his...

Unfortunately, this has been a life's pattern with this guy... He has ruined every business that he has been associated with because of pride...

Pride come before the fall...

I mean, not to be blowing my own horn, have been successful at everything I have ever accomplished and I owe that to thwe abil;ity to seek out folks and listen to them and then weigh is what I have learned.... That's what successfull people do... They listen...

Bush only like to talk, and talk, and talk.... Fine, make a great guy tp get drunk with but not anyone to run yer company or your country...
