Her head hair is not irredeemable. It's not a style I personally would choose, but it's fine.

Bureacracy and regulation can be more efficient than a zillion people making individual bargains.

And if you started yapping about libertarian crap post-coitally, and did not shut your yap when asked -- TWICE -- you would be too stupid to fuck.

OK, I did him again before he left. But that was more a matter of not letting it go to waste.
Well, we do need some regulation, but I'd personally like to see just about 99.9% of bureaucrats thrown in front of a speeding bus. I can't stomach procedure. I think in theory bureacracy and regs work fine, but in practice, the system is built to be abused by the lazy and inept. You've got to admit there is nothing worse than trying to wring a decision out of a pack of scared shitless middle managers. I've blown up at meeting and almost said "Make a fucking decision!" These people should be accountable and they're not. They need to be reviewed rigorously and fired when they don't produce anything other than more regs and policy memos.

If I fuck up, I get fired. Why should so many sods in the middle of govt and big business be allowed to be so inefficient and counterprocudtive?

Actually, I like unexpected compliments too, but my favorite compliment is when someone absolutely cracks up at something that I say. That's a great feeling, and one I'm sure many people here live for.

The only time that isn't cheesy is if you were blowing him after he had consumed one too many scotches

You have to have procedures to do things consistently across many, many people. Consistency is, generally speaking, fairer than inconsistency. Inconsistency leads to lawsuits, which are higher in costs than having a procedure.

I agree that it can get out of hand and that some people take it too far, but shit, would you want people who can't even really figure out how a procedure works to have discretion over each individual decision?????

There's a perfect middle, but its so rarely hit. My view is also jaded because of where I live. The "system" in this state is really quite despicable. Its rancid mix of laziness and corruption pretty much through and through.

I am assuming that at least some of the people here interact with live humans, or even simians, at least occasionally.

Expecting perfection means a lifetime of frustration.

I'd be frustrated if I were Bill Gates. Its genetic.

This is really all about the state-run liquor stores, isn't it?

2. Sebastian. Why don't you people throw out that law? I've driven hours in Pa. trying to find a place that would sell me something to knock me in the head after a night with the in-laws. How does someone with a nasty little drinking problem get by there day to day? Are Pennslyvanians just good planeers?

Same thing with Ontario. Canadians are drunkards and you can't even buy beer easily there. at least the Wah Wah will sell you beer.
