For unrelated reasons I've actually had to think about it this week. I tend to shy away from committees myself but have had to deal with one lately at work. Normally I'd just quit but I have a great job so I've been determined to see if there is some way of making it work. It hit me this morning on the way too work. I was reading the subway rag and there was an article about one of our multitude of committees in TO and it said committees create nothing but white bread. Now this got me thinking if they can create white bread why not white paper.Committees don't make great art but if they're any good they can provide the necessities for it.Committees are great for creating attention, raising the necessary funds and hopefully choosing the right Artist, Designer, Architect etc... and once they've made that choice and provided the paper the creativity should be left to the Artist, Designer etc.. In other words if you don't like melting clocks don't hire Dali. Chuck aka DFthe pack mule
