I don't know. In my pre-9/11 days, I thought that businessmen would make the world work better. I had a rude awakening and was forced to examine thousands of assumptions I didn't even know I had. My style is details. This is my approach to figuring out past and current messes; then I can begin to figure out preventive measures. However, I have to learn about scope; I'm not very good at that so far. /BAH /BAH

I don't think so. They would be too busy to write. And, apparently, not many will read them. /BAH

I'm still studying; I don't understand how stuff gets done. /BAH

More alarming is the message of the Democrats who keep implying that there isn't any problem. The speeches say that Bush is lying about the existence of this national threat. What do you think most people would conclude from a statement like that? /BAH |
