Well see the "broken promises" are childish. I'll give you an example: Ever make a New Year's resolution to, say, start a work out program? You come up with this 6 day/wk twice a day program. What happens? You don't do it. But you might start consistently doing some small version of it. Should you quit because of your "broken promise". Of course not. Another example along the same lines: It's time to do your normal Thurs workout, but that takes an hour and you know you've got 45 minutes max. Should you just not do it all because you can't do the full hour? Of course not! These are example of "letting the perfect be the enemy of the good" which is a business management concept. There's even an acronym! BHAG. A "bag". It stands for Big Hairy Audacious Goal. Like going to the moon. It means aim big, because even if you only make 80% of your goal you've still really accomplished something. Which is why calling getting rid of 99% of appointed lobbyists with a new rule a broken promise is childish. It's still 99%!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:287566 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
