"If It Ain't Broke...Break It" Robert J Kriegel

I heard these words this morning on CBC, where else.........Thank God I drive.  I hear most of my blog posts ideas on the radio station that I listen to.  I really liked this title, and wondered why?  Because I just like going against conventional thought?? Maybe.  But I was able to back my thought with some analogies.  I'll bet that slave owners, in the 18th and 19th century in United States and other countries, had that very idea.  Slavery was a system that to many must have seemed like a viable one.  To make it more personal and close to home; what about families where one person has all the power, where the rest of that family cater to this one powerful (loud) person?  I'll bet to him or her that seems like a good system.  In business if you want to keep the paycheque coming in you don't want to "rock the boat", thats for sure.  And Government where people on welfare live on less than $600 a month, while high government officials make six figure saleries plus huge bonus's.  I'll bet they think "hey, this is a great system".

I believe that there are many things that appear to be not broken that should be.  Another book that I need to read.  There are times when my biggest worry seems to be I will never live long enough to read all the books I need to, and perhaps I will not have the time or the courage to write all words that I need to.
