I heard the interview with this guy on Counterpoint the other day. A Perfect Mess - Counterpoint - 10 May 2010 (http://www.abc.net.au/rn/counterpoint/stories/2010/2889453.htm)

He makes a lot of sense, particularly in the organisational world. Stifling bureaucracy is the result of over organisation. Looks like a useful book.

Just sounds like someone trying to get out of trouble with his mum:rolleyes:. But yes limited mess is sometimes the best way to go. I generaly like things organised and in the right place but thats only because I have a bad memory so if its on the shadow board or in the draw I remember where it should be:U

Every garden should have a wild overgrown area imo. I know that such a space was reserved in medieval gardens for the faeries. Like every area of our lives....

BTW, I used the word impugn a few months ago and all the people at work had no idea what I was talking about. One of them even told me a week later that he'd looked the word up and it didn't exist. Needless to say that after I had corrected his spelling and he found the word he was a little more circumspect. These are highly educated engineers, but I cant reconcile the education and the lack of knowledge.
