Bricks and stones

no bones about it?

Too many threads.*
Still in the process of reading the links embedded and woven aknew[!]***

***  Rhee-Marshall-Handy
In Charles Handy's The Age of Paradox,(**) there are two chapters I navigated to, but first I would say that every age is a paradox, as that is the nature of nature. Anyway, they are The Federal Idea p. 109) under Practicing the Preaching, which referenced back to the Sigmoid Curve(p. 49) under Finding the Balance.  I would like to weave in the Paradox of Choice by Bob Schwartz to determine if management of information and business is what education should be based on.

[See under degree / on, (b.s.)finds "tetra+heed+run" / "Platonic+plank" = Education/Business/Government loopiness. Not to suggest nonsense or SixSigma, but a Six Edged 4Mat of dynamics and what matters and is the point, balancing change and individual freedoms.  (Platonic Platforming and Planks Constant?)]

Not to suggest a tipping of the tetrahedron, or BEG the work of N-title meants but which comes first? Business/Education/Government slash results or causes and affects of design?

Is the Ball Rolling?

Blowing in the "B"s.
Bad things come in threes?

First Katrina blew the lid off the bureaucracy called FEMA.
Second, the Windy City team blew away the Astros.
Third, a prosecutor from the Windy City lands a blow at the administration’s staff.

Three more blows this week, may lead to a final three "B"s
The reversal and removal of Mier and Libby and the reinstating of the Davis-Bacon Act which was rescinded in the aftermath of Katrina are blows to the power of the administration.

Where will this end?
Maybe with Bush Blair and Berlusconi.

At least two points may have been made.
Things are not black and white, they are political.
It is more than just Bush who does not know what he is talking about, but much of his bureaucracy.

Note: In most cases what is blamed is usually what is being used, i.e. politics and bureaucracy. They simultaneously provide a barrier to being accountable, and hence Bush is right in blaming everyone below him down to the people.

I do not recollect any of this coming from the above source but it was on in the background and may warrant later referencing or linking.
