There are a lot of car bombs these days, in Iraq. The Jeep that crashed into Glasgow Airport's doors was stopped by the anti-car crash barriers. It's probably not a good idea to discount cars when making anti-terrorist plans.

My own perhaps cynical view is that, given the choice between managing $100,000 annually for Microsoft licences, and managing $0 annually for a free software system; many administrators may feel the Microsoft licence fees increase their job's importancea and likely salary.

Lawyer: I intend to prove that my client is completely innocent of the charges of theft of which he is accused. In evidence, I shall produce receipts given to me by my client as proof of purchase for the three articles allegedly stolen. This one for the digital watch...
Judge: A digital watch? What on earth is a digital watch?
Lawyer: Sorry, m'lud. A digital watch is a watch worked by microelectronics. I will also be producing a receipt for the automatic video recorder...
Judge: Automatic video recorder?
Lawyer: It's a machine that records television programmes on special tapes.
Judge: How fascinating. What will they think of next? Proceed.
Lawyer: Thank you m'lud. Finally, I will produce in this court a receipt for my client's "deluxe model inflatable woman" -whatever that is.
Judge: The deluxe is the one with the real hair and the lifelike sister!

Here's an example of just that, over here in the UK.
"You can't call yourself a patriot if you're not outraged."
Indeed, insofar as Americans seek to participate in controlling their own democracy, their activities will be deeply patriotic, because they will be seeking to call their nation back to its moral ideals, which stand diametrically opposed to the values implicit in the current administration.

"The HR profession seems to attract a number of people who are not people-focused and thus not good at dealing with people problems. HR is not there for employees. The role of HR is to keep the employer out of court. [...] When push comes to shove, HR do what they are told to do by management, regardless of the rights and wrongs."
"Generally, the more intelligent, well-educated and well-established couples get children at a later age, and get fewer of them. The "dumber" and lower-class people reproduce faster, and there will be more and more of them."
One valid explanation might be social engineering. A senior police officer and a senior civil servant probably met at their old Oxford college for a drinky-poo.
"Have you heard this awful nonsense about the 'cash for peerages' evidence? Old Chigwell just isn't playing the game at all. It's a dreadful bore."
"Oh I wouldn't worry about that old fellow. Have a whisky. I'm sure we can work something out."

Try filling out a force field analysis. This lays out the situation in a logical manner, using a well known management method. Write a few sentences or a paragraph under each of these headings:
1) The Problem 2a) The Present Situation 2b) The desired situation 3) Resisting forces 4) Actons to Reduce or Eliminate resisting forces 5) Driving forces 6) Actions to Increase driving forces 7a) Steps Towards Solving the Problem 7b) Resources Required 8) Sequence of Steps Steps When How
Then lay on a 30 minute presentation for the management, with coffee and biscuits provided. Get a team of like minded staff, and have each person present a 5 minute portion of the analysis. Use A1 flip charts, or powerpoint or something similar to create the presentation materials. Rehearse it through before you book the meeting, so you can work smoothly as a team. This shows management that you've thought carefully about the problem, and are working as a team towards what you perceive to be a solution.

I got a message from the Flickereenos
The other day
Opened it and read it

They wanted me to sign up for Yahoo! or whatever
Picture me givin a damn, I said never
Here is a Company that never gave a damn
About a brother like myself

It occurred to me
The suckers had authority
Peace out.

On the subject of censorship, here's a 20 minute video of Frank Zappa on 'Crossfire' in 1986.

Frank makes some very good points, while keeping his cool despite a rather aggressive debating style from his opponents.
