RE: Being relatively new to that wonderful machine, the bureaucracy

Have you learned the bureaucrate's prayer yet?

When in wonder
or in doubt,
run in circles
and scream and shout.


and as bad as it may seem, think about this.. our cosmic stories, about the big dipper, (Ursa major) or Orion, the hunter, or Leo the lion, come to us full of natural life..animals, hunters, woman with urns, carrying water...

in China, the constalation we know as the big dipper is seen as a gaint cart, filled with bureaucrates, and trailing after them, the long scrolls, of tax records.. bureaucratesy is so old in China, is part of the cosmology!
