Absolutely, though I do wish more of the public and local governments would follow this type of mentality. Seems like most local towns and cities have lost this.

Seems like everything’s more along the lines of “if it’s not completely broken, then don’t bother fixing or even improving it.”

Maybe sometimes it goes by accident =]

However, being dissatisfied and talking about how bad things are isn’t sufficient to make anything better.

I never did understand why you are not supposed to change a running system.

I still had this on my clip board from earlier, when I mentioned it in another thread. One of my favorite parts of one of my favorite songs. The Dead Kennedy’s Stars and Stripes of Corruption. If you have never heard it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=983DwAOCXRI

But what can just one of us do
Against all that money and power trying to crush us into roaches?
We won’t destroy society in a day
Until we change ourselves first from the inside out

We can start by not lying so much and treating other people like dirt
It’s so easy not to base our lives on how much we can scam
And you know it feels good to lift that monkey off our back

If you don’t know the song, its chalk full of cynicism and angst. But it ends with a good message. The fast beat and quick rythmic delivery of the lyrics with the beautiful surf guitar…

If we don’t try
If we just lie
If we can’t find a way
To do better than this
Who will?

If you can’t criticize, you can’t optimize!

I teach my kid it’s important to lose bc you learn what to work on

The first step in exceeding any limit is to realize there is one.

The first step to solving a problem is recognizing that you have a problem.

But that’s only the first step. If you aren’t identifying that problem in specific terms (not vague generalities) and also proposing a solution (again not vague, and preferably SMART) then you are just complaining.
