[Milsurplus] OT: Stinson's Law of Technological Progress

[James M. Walker]

“We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible
 for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long,
 we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing.”

To quote the above "LORD HELP US!"

    I think it's also got a "LOT" to do with the so called
    "Management Types" that have absolutly no idea of
    how most of the technology they "Try" to use works.

    They never ask questions, they just reject ideas that
    are not theirs as insignificant! Oh yeah and may I say
    "Most of them have NEVER been in a life-or Death
    situation.

    They hit you with the "I'm in CHARGE line" and say you
    will follow my orders or get fired!

    FWIW seen it, experienced it, now I avoid it like the "Plague"
    it is. Stupidity should NEVER be rewarded, fix it or get away from
    it.
