I heard it expressed many times in the military as It's easier to obtain forgiveness than it is to get permission. It occasionally leads to a problematical mind set. There are some things that cannot and will not be forgiven. - No virus found in this message.

I heard it expressed many times in the military as It's easier to obtain forgiveness than it is to get permission. One of my favorites along those lines was Demo Dick Marcinko's UNODIR. If he wanted to do something of which higher-higher might not approve, he'd send up a message Unless otherwise directed (UNODIR), we're going to X to do Y. Of course, he sent it just as his team went off the communication grid, so no otherwise direction was going to get through. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

When I was a kid, I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realized that the Lord, in his wisdom, didn't work that way.

From the Herald Tribune: Making the London rounds is the anecdote of a bemused Tony Blair hearing George W. Bush's simple explanation for France's economic decline. In this account of an aside at a recent summit, Bush told Blair that the French trouble is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur. http://www.iht.com/articles/64155.html - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
