Whenever I see these "government technidoodlelicky statiscian analysts" it always makes me smile.
All these "experts" can do is make a whole bunch of numbers. Frankly, I think they're depressing. "16.25% of businesses fail because of lack of financial and technical controls".
I'm not insulting you personally Geoff, but granted I have a very poor view of any sort of attempt to "analyse" business success and failure. They never take into account things like creativity, determination, and setting goals. Sure, these things can't be measured....but they're the most important.
On Racism: We don't have blacks here (we have islander blacks, but they're not really discriminated against), but I dislike any kind of affirmative action. If an employee is good, he is hired. If he is crap, hes out. If the government wants to tell me who to hire, then I'll find a way to get past it.
Besides, it causes tensions. Imagine if blacks were hired because they were black....who would trust a black doctor? He might be hired despite the fact he's killed 2 dozen patients....just because hes black.

Good visions can never be achieved. My vision is to completely change the world and the way it works - somehow I doubt it will ever be achieved.
If we DO achieve a vision (ie. Bill Gates), we still have to fight to maintain that vision. Bill Gates constantly engages other businesses in order to remain No. 1. He might develop a new vision (ie. Be with my family), or change visions (ie. Invent a computer that will brush teeth).
