<DIV>Its a mixed bag Frank. Some of them suggest problems that don't really
exist, a future that isn't going to come close. But a lot of them are exactly
what you said too. The hard part is getting a good focus on what is worth trying
to fix, figuring out which part of it we can fix even if we try, then having the
courage to go ahead in spite of jokes saying not to bother, while still enjoying
jokes about everybody else's really stupid ideas.</DIV>

about. Or, we go too far the other way in trying to fix it.</DIV>
