I had an epiphany tonight, and I'm writing it down in order to not lose it.  It starts on a negative note, but this is just build up for my actual idea.

Flat rate or paid by the grade you earn? I like what you said about the perpetual remodeling. The University Center at UNO has been paying out money to fix it (Post Katrina) for two years and all that's been done is the set up of scaffolding. That's it, and yet still the money flows. Thank god for FEMA, or we might not have that terribly attractive scaffolding.

This is somewhat unrelated, but the Associated Press is saying there were 4 high school and college shootings in the past 6 days. 3 poeple died in the one that happened 90 miles away at a college in Baton Rouge last Friday. These are pretty sick institutions, built in a disgustingly hierarchical format and therefore incapable of fast adaptation, and apparently a completely fitting stage for acts of psychotic, armed activity.

How are you? Helpfully preserving the hierarchy?
