This, as individuals, we can do. With the far reaching technologies we have today it shouldn't require too many people to achieve critical mass. At this point in time my proposition may sound as something out of the Jetsons. Within a decade it will seem very feasible.

It's like a conspiracy of silence: http://www.jarche.com/?p=1118 The problem is schooling, and we have to examine its roots and see what we, as a society, need to change. However, this requires research, knowledge and "informed debate", not the drivel we hear from politicians and much of the electorate (just read the comments on the CBC website for examples of this drivel).

The grass is always greener in the neighbours yard. Still don't think you can cut the neighbours grass if you can't even cut your own. Even a cow can understand that. I see this common mistake in management over and over again... If you can't get something to work just propose something else, justify it with studies and then screw up again. And technically what we are seeing here are organizational extensions to the Peter Principle. This time is not the individual that has reached its level of incompetence. It is the organization. Would take me a long time to explain but I think some of you might understand. So I like your post. EFI is not the issue. It is time that we look at the root causes why things are not working. And something tells me that the solutions are outside of government walls.
