Re: [Futurework] The world of work

[Ray Evans Harrell]

Another point well made.    What you are not saying however is that all of these "solutions" are "top down"  mass production solutions and no one seems to be willing to take that on.    We either get New Age Communes of Henry Ford and the Taylor solutions and I don't mean Kit Taylor.    There has to be something better.    But will we discover it or just keep going over the same ground like a cul de sac?   Ray     ----- Original Message ----- From: Ed Weick To: Karen Watters Cole ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 04, 2003 11:06 AM Subject: Re: [Futurework] The world of work   Do you mean that Mitch Daniels might take a summer off to work in the fields picking fruit with migrant workers? Rumsfeld might work as a janitor at Wal-Mart? Wolfowitz arise in the middle of the night to bake bread for the morning rush hour? Eliot Abrams work in a retirement home, changing beds and bringing food trays? John Poindexter work as a receiving clerk in a county jail? Condi Rice to stand in a factory sorting tomatoes for canning all day? Dick Cheney pump gas, check tires, wash the windshield? George Bush, as fit as he is, haul garbage cans and throw them onto a truck?   Wonderful idea. - Karen   The Chinese tried something like that in the Cultural Revolution.  While it may have been humbling, it had no staying power.   Ed Ed Weick 577 Melbourne Ave. Ottawa, ON, K2A 1W7 Canada Phone (613) 728 4630 Fax     (613)  728 9382
