Here's a good idea..................


"Decision makers should be held accountable for the consequences of their decisions.  In The Case for Modern Man, American philosopher Charles Frankel defines responsibility:  'A decision is responsible when the man or group that makes it has to answer for it to those who are directly or indirectly affected by it."  Charles Munger adds, 'An example of a really responsible system is the system the Romans used when they build an arch.  The guy who created the arch stood under it as the scaffolding was removed.  It's like packing your own parachute.' "

-Peter Bevelin,  Seeking Wisdom:  From Darwin to Munger
