My question is why were they promoted in the first place.
The errors I am speaking of were obvious to the workers beneath them, and they ignored the warnings.
If you don't work as a team, then its just a dictatorship and the worker caste will just have the drudgery syndrome like they did in communist Russia, and why the attrition rate at Dell was OVER 50%.
For it being one the better paying jobs in this area, its amazing that over half the ppl that walk in the door walk right back out of their own free will in under 18 months.
But I think you'd be challenged to call Hitler or Stalin good guys.
The Ukraine as a whole does not care much for Stalin.
Even the Germans have laws against Nazi gatherings.
Japan in the Bataan Death March alluded to the evil that had entered into their idea of morality.
When the US dropped the Atomic bombs on Japan they killed "LESS" ppl than the fire bombings, few ppl realize that.
The Japanese leadership lied to the Japanese ppl and told them the Americans were monsters that would torture the women and children if captured so ppl were jumping to their deaths at Okinawa.
The events at Okinawa largely were used as the reasoning for using the Atomic bombs on mainland Japan.
Many ppl in the US military argued against using the bombs on the civilian centers, especially some of the nuclear scientists.
For many years the US has been the number one donor of foreign aid, so much in fact that we were far ahead of any other nation.
What alot of ppl miss is that the only true Americans here are the Native Americans who were largely wiped out.
Most ppl in the US are from other countries all over the world.
Irish, Polish, Czech, German, Russian, Brits, Asians, Greeks, Hispanics, Africans are all Americans.
So when the ppl of the world say we are evil, most of this country came from somewhere else.
It would be more accurate to say most of the ppl in the world are self centered, and evil and good can be found in the heart of all men and only thru careful consideration can we keep evil in check.
That is my FAVORITE thing about IT in some large companies.
The ppl that make the choices do not understand IT.
The ppl that do are the sled dogs, and they have no say in it, and the upper echelon deems them lesser beings not worth listen to.
Arrogance of power is the phrase that comes to mind, and alot of the big corporations are rife with it.
I worked for Dell recently and saw Regional managers demoted for making idiotic mistakes that other ppl in the company tried to steer them away from it.
I am not at the top, but I am above the 50% mark, and I think that the current model of idiots making the IT decisions is broke.
Inverse square law. You get orders of magnitude less EM radiation from the 12KV power lines in your backyard, than the 120V wires running through your house.
To save money here they don't run 12Kv, they run Distro lines up to 46Kv here...
This study confirms the ability of low-level magnetic fields to cause DNA damage and brain cell death in rats, and proposes a mechanism that may explain both how the damage occurs as well as why some anti-oxidants work to prevent it.
Lock-in is the thin thread the cling to, as the sound of inevitability rushes toward them in the form of a global mind writing all the code it needs for all things for free and open source.
We may not be as nimble, or elegant in all aspect, but open source is like slow moving lava on Hawaii and the house of Microsoft is going down... eventually.

Before any of the M$ fanbois out here start modding this down, go download the latest Ubuntu, install it on your "Vista Capable Machine" , try using it for a while, then honestly look and see if it isn't superior for desktop use than Vista.
Take that a step further, you can use a Linux Distro to run Cedega to run World of Warcraft faster than it will run under windows.
The fact that a major world wide game runs faster under linux than under windows is absolutely friggin hilarious, and pathetic all at the same time.
The same thing is true for MANY other windows apps run better on linux thru WINE or Cedega or Vmware.
My brief stint working for Dell taught me that virtualization is the future to save cost on licensing through M$, and for afore mentioned performance.
M$ has carved their own gravestone with Fistya ( Vista ).
Also in soviet Russia F117's shot down in Serbia years ago are reverse engineered to make stealth cruise missiles for the Bear Bombers that recently went back on patrol.
Part of me hopes you get a new attitude, the other half hopes you turn into a roentgen receptor.
When the neo cons use the nuke bunker busters on Iran here in a few weeks, the only place you will have to go is the rural areas when the Russian bear bombers release 6 radar invisible missiles per plane.
But they dismiss it with a wave, so they can get back to the Computer, TV, and watch their sports, boink their significant other, or read a book about some made up shit that does not even exist.
In the meantime, the Fed loans the government its own money at 'interest'.
It is boring though, doesn't really entertain ppl, so it doesn't get much brain time.
My grandfather when I was a small child decades ago warned us about how bad this would get, and I didn't really understand him then.
After many years, and a fair bit of reading and discussing with very intelligent ppl in and out of the united states, I now see the shell game for what it is.

The Trans Texas Corridor was to be paid for by US tax dollars, but sold to a Spanish billionaire who would run it as a for profit toll road that we paid to build.

Algae far exceeds all other crops, and grows in the desert and you can reduce water evaporation in a closed system.

But if humans aren't eventually going, what is the freaking point?
I think Brits will go, but it will be awhile.
To be honest the early exploration is best done by Robot.
Take it a step further, it would be a lot easier to Terra form
a moon base with just robots, prior to sending humans up there.
Flying all the food and other necessities into space to keep
humans alive could be used to get more Robots up there.
A Robot doesn't suffer from Bone Density issues in low gravity.
A Robot doesn't need food, water, or atmosphere.
An underground moon base is best to survive the violent surface impacts on the moon.
Multiple tunnels and chambers, with automatic sealing air locks and safeties.
Bring down sunlight via something similar to the Sola-tube, though
a more rugged version naturally.
Algae sequesters massive amounts of CO2, and grows faster than any other
chlorophyll based species, and thus gives off a lot of O2.
The Vertigro method used to make bio-diesel would be best
and other hybrid hydroponic systems.
This and other plants could make a sustainable habitat on the moon,
and then test it for a few years.
If there are no major incidents, then start sending up humans.
Sending up humans early is brave and all, but accidents happen,
and its best they happen as much as possible in the discover stage
with Robots.

Or....how about for going shopping, or breathing !
I mean they are breathing up the federal owned air space !
We should tax air usage, and we can tax it with air flow meters
we can all stick on our faces !
