“It is better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission.”
Crappy statement? Yes. Applicable? Yes. American Business has taken a rather ugly turn over the last few years that has lead us down a path beset by so much red tape, politics and drama that business visionaries are having a difficult time getting anything accomplished. Consider [...]

Conspiracy Theories, or as ScanJack likes to call them “Suspicion Theories”, are brought up on here rather frequently. We bring them up to spark discussions and debates which typically lead to one group calling the other group a bunch of crazies.

I submit onto you a very popular email that is circulating the Indian Sub-Continent currently. The Indian people and their culture have much to be proud of… as this list illustrates.

I used to think that I communicated well – people seemed to understand what I was trying to say – regardless of the chosen delivery mechanism.
