JimF-LowBari Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 (edited) Parable #1 Once upon a time there was a group that sold widgets. This group didn't make the widgets but they took the responsibility to get the widgets to where people could buy them and enjoy them. For a while there were widgets for everybody, even if not all the widgets were of great quality. After a while the number of widgets began to go down. Some people said the group should try to find ways to create more widgets. Other people said "Creating widgets isn't their job, be quiet". Still others said "Less widgets, but they are better quality, no problem". and still others said "Look, hundreds of people are trying to buy one widget. Interst is high, so no problem." There were other groups who tried to create widgets but on a small scale because new widgets are expensive to make. The big widget selling group ignored them and soon people thought these widgets were not good and ignored them. Soon the small widget groups gave up. Eventually the number of widgets went down to zero because no one thought it was their job to worry about it. And the people who sold the widgets and the people who enjoyed the widgets were equally screwed. Parable #2 "Back in the day...." OK, think you know where I'm going with this. Big butted questions is: Any ideas before we run out of widgets? Edited April 5, 2007 by JimF-3rdBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick Stack Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I think you misspelled it. There's no "W", "I", "G", "E", or "T" in drum corps. In fact, you misspelled it several times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
