Living In The Past
-
Besides a great Jethro Tull song, what kind of personality are you? Do you live more in the past, the present, or the future? Me, I'm a "future" kind of person, always excited about some new possibility. However, there are certain things in the past I simply can't seem to move past (or, erm, is that "beyond"?). Marc

It was just a joke, don't worry about it. I don't know enough politcs from other countries to ever browse the Soapbox :~
I don't see dead pixels anymore... Yes, even I am blogging now!
I haven't been able to get my head around that whole democrat republican dichotomy. In other countries we actually have left of centre politics. Then again, you have such decent internet connectivity over there.

I'm probably a future person, but experience has taught me not to get over-excited about potential. It's usually less than perceived.
"I curse economic prosperity as it puts an end to much-needed poverty, famine and pestilence." -dennisd45
Except when it is more that percieved. The thing about inovation that facinates me, is how often it is missed until it becomes the standard. For instance, the internet starts to become a big thing and everyone is talking about the new business model/supply chain economices/whatever. The technology that really changes business? Email. I have seen statistics that as much as 5% overhead in many business' was attributed to the production, circulation and displosal of paper memorandums. Memos are dead, email has replaced them, business is better and no one talks about it. Of course everyone uses it and most of us couldn't get along with out it. I think its interesting the things we choose to focus on. BTW, I prefer to live for today. As the saying goes, yesterday is a memory, tomorrow a dream. All that is real is today. And that is a great deal of what makes me a Democrat
