If it don't work out for 'em, I get to come in and clean up, after management runs off the spouters. It's been my experience that competant business owners could give a flying fig HOW you make something happen...just that you make it happen on time and within budget.<<

Charles Hankey

-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
