      Yeah, I am trying to avoid all sorts of eye contact with anything that has a review or discussion of the Revolutions. Just a few more hours for the first 6 am show in LA, I have my tickets. The Iridium application on my desktop suggests it releases 3 pm in Sweden ? Another turning point , a fork stuck in the road . Time grabs you by the wrist , directs you where to go. So make the best of this test , and don't ask why. It's not a question , but a lesson learned in time . Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) by Green Day

                        When I'm 50-60, I really want to be able to walk up stairs without having to stop to catch air, or worry about dieing of a heart attack. Muscles and fitness isn't obsolete, and will never be. A better body gives you the ability to live life better on all planes; both the mental and physical plane. Trust me, I've been on both sides of the fence. :) -- Hell is from here to eternity.

                                What's so hard about it? :rolleyes: delegated responsibility: There's always someone else responsible for that. "If they play around with the spanish flu, they will have someone who is responsible for security. If they use wood, someone will make sure they don't run out of trees." decoupled structures: Even if you know how the responsibilities are laid out, there is neither influence nor feedback. "It's their job, so they will know best how it's done - and it's not my job to ask, or to tell them" It's not that the world would be all joy and laughter when only relying on small, local business. But large corporations promote above thinking (which people - me included - are only to ready to fall for), and takre out valuable feedback.
