Why the human race has never progressed wisely

[Rodgera]

If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human
race has not achieved and never will achieve its full potential,
that word would be "meetings."

I don't know about that, I'll have to put it to the annual meeting of the think tank

[Tonyz]

not meetings..... its committee's

Heard this quote once 'for god so loved the world, He never formed a committee.

[cava]

I would have thought "Government".

[Ruddy]

Sometimes there is a good argument for a dictatorship....

[rwbuild]

A general manager of a local council once said "all committees should consist of 3 people with 2 absent"

[Bob38S]

With apologies to Churchill, regarding meetings/committees

"Never in the field of human endeavour has so little been done by so few who end up contributing so little".

Committee/meeting usually made up of the unwilling, the uninterested, the uninformed doing the unnecessary.

[John Saxton]

Too many "race meetings"but no bonding!
