READY, SET, STOP

Ah, the wonderful joy of planning by committee. You sure can't be upset over the effort. Just the results.

Oh yeah that is the problem that won't go away. Always such a bugger. Because people are less that noble.

But then we have to allow for the fact that people are jerks. And any time you get stuck having to you know try and get some agreement in the process, forget it.

For none will manage that any more than necessary. It takes diplomacy, tact and plenty of bribes.

Yep, that is so necessity. You just have to embrace that being such good option. And you know I will always cherish that option if I can.

But you can't be sure if you expect sanity, then you have to be careful not to expect too much. A lot of finger pointing will happen.

And that can be entertaining at time. But not all the time. Especially if you are talking about a committee dealing with some social concern.

Oh man does that inspire the complaints. Citizens will actually expect results. That is so troublesome

Which is where I enjoy the committees devoted to fact finding. Because you can be sure they will never find any.

That works to my favor in most cases. For I can be sure to let it seem like we are solving a problem.

Only none really gets solved. However, people do feel good about it. So that is always a plus.

In any event I do savor the joy of this pretense. It is always a great opportunity for us to give the illusion somebody cares.

Never works out that way though. But the nice thing people thing it will make a difference.

And that is what really counts. I really enjoy having that image of being caring. It is such a great feeling to be popular.

All I have to do is make sure nobody ever finds out the truth. Now that really is the thing, which counts. Just being able to know you were remember fondly. Even if it is all baloney.
