Why the human race has never progressed wisely
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."Androgens Order
Forgive your enemies, but never, ever forget their names.
The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naïve forgive and forget; the wise forgive but never forget.

Sometimes there is a good argument for a dictatorship....
And my head I'd be a scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain.

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

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.Regards,
Bob

Meeting: a gathering of people where the minutes are kept but hours are wasted
I got sick of sitting around doing nothing - so I took up meditation.
