There is a collective choice to be made. Either a lot of very small revolutions occur at the company, in the town, at Woolworths (opps, they've gone!), or in Wall Street, OR a "big" revolution occurs.

In France there was a "big" revolution in 1789 and the outcome was real messy for a number of years. Countless inhumanities occurred, anybody could be denounced as a counter revolutionary and sent off to the guillotine.

In the UK we avoided such an extensive revolution at the time and it is generally thought we got the better part of the deal.

I do recommend due process of law btw, juries, that kind of thing, but charges and trials seems to be very slow or stuck in the pipeline at the moment. I also have been stuck on the thin edge of the wedge sometimes where one had to question very carefully what you did next. I have had a number of jobs outside of the engineering business included working as a salesman and as a bank employee.

Back to engineering though. The French railways seem to work much better then ours, as have a number of their engineering projects.

The idiot who was put in charge of the British side of the channel tunnel certainly made a mess of things. He was a banker.

hmmmm -g-
