Recently a UN group conducted a world-wide survey was conducted by the UN. Only one question was asked:
"Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?"
The survey was a huge failure because of the following:
In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant.
In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant.
In Africa they didn't know what "food" meant.
In China they didn't know what "opinion" meant.
In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" meant.
In South America they didn't know what "please" meant.
In the US they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.
And Finally...........................
In Australia they hung up because they couldn't understand the Indian accent.

A decision is when you dicide on one of two or more options on a course of action as related to a particular concern.
As in the past, your best course of action (decision) is the one that can be blamed on Bush if it fails.
Now, feeling a bit twitish for not picking-up on the Bush Cheney plan for Afganistan?
Decision rule #1, leave yourself a scapegoat.

PS; Ron loved that survey.
