"Innovator. One who recognizes opportunities and organizes resources to take advantage of the opportunity." That's *not* an employee. Of course, if you're merely trying to convince yourself that you're an entreprenaur while working for someone else..... snip >>out entrenched companies.

Perhaps restaurants, which are a form of retailing, do too.

The extremists I think we really need to stop appeasing are the Religious Right and the Republicans who they are currently leading around by the nose. Tomorrow's our chance. Eric Lucas

Perhaps you're talking about the people who have and maintain taditional American values. You know, the folks who made America great in the first place! The America that has been handed to you on a silver platter, in fact. I'm happy to appease them forever. Their ideology has withstood the test of time, while yours keeps failing only to be recycled by the next generation. |
