A Rebel With a Cause, But No Clear Message
"Hi Dwayne. One reason protests were more organized and more focused in the late '60's was with the "help" of the Soviet Union, fomenting insurrection... The idealistic protesters (those who weren't just bored, or following w/o purpose) never quite realized that, only that they were frustrated - like now. Not that there wasn't - and isn't - PLENTY to protest!! Duncan"Put Your Mind To It and Breeze Past the Gatekeeper
"Hi Adam. I'd say it depends on the gatekeeper in question, and their understanding of what their boss expects - some aren't going to let anyone unknown get through, per instruction. If you get a marshmallow, maybe you'll sweet-talk (or bludgeon) your way through - a tough one isn't going to bend no matter what you say (I guarantee it). You're right about not lying, too.

The irony is that this utter lack of communication occurred in the communications department. No thought was ever given to typing it up & putting it on the bulletin board - the transmission was all verbal (if & when it occurred).

"Patricia, I'm reminded of an old saying - attributed to St.Ambrose in the 2nd half of the 4th century A.D.: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." It seems to me that the 5S system is fine for the Japanese in Japan, where it's their own cultural ideas in action in their own land, but kind of odd when imported to the U.S., and forced on American workers.
