The roadmap has to provide a convincing menu that will assist the digestion and the seating plan for those other that could be invited to the meal. <br /><br />To stretch this even further - the diners need to be reminded that the bits of the animal that they all felt individually are actually when seen together the very elephant being presented to them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12158627748869274727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2427112298677161128.post-4998672725481933262009-12-02T09:11:54.530-08:002009-12-02T09:11:54.530-08:00Interesting perspective.

I was also a Trusted Agent at NORAD keeping track of submarine positions, among other things.<br /><br />I invite you to treat the elephant differently.
