// This isn't accusation or finger-poiniting -- I see everyone's name all over this code, including my own, which

// This code just needs some tenderness. Let's cook it a hot bowl of soup and play some soft Jazz.

The first myth of management is that it exists. Managers are to management as churches are to religion.

From http://everything2.com/title/nontheist

The Buddha is the first historically known nontheist. Most Buddhists are nontheist.

The Buddha was often asked whether God existed. Usually, he replied with a complete silence. Once, however, he told the story of the man shot by a poisoned arrow.

When the doctor came and wanted to pull the arrow out of the wound, the man grabbed the doctor's hand and asked:

"Before you start treating me, Doctor, tell me, who was it that shot me? Was he of warrior class or some other class? Was he tall or was he short? Was he young or was he old? Was he dark skinned or light skinned?"
