I want to solve problems for people.

That is all. It sounds so simple, doesn't it?

But what often happens is that somebody will ask for a problem to be solved, but will insist on a "solution" that does not actually fix the problem.

Or Person A will want a problem solved and Person B will not, where Person A has enough authority to insist that the problem be solved, while Person B, while not having the authority to counter A, has too much stature for me to simply say "I can't to it because B is being an obstructionist jerk."

Or Person C will want a "problem" solved, but Person D regards it not as a "problem" but as an essential condition, and neither of them is willing to acknowledge the other's position, much less negotiate about it.

Or they will insist that their problem is urgent and must be fixed as soon as possible, but will fail -- sometimes repeatedly -- to provide the most basic level of cooperation, such as providing access to the equipment causing the problem.

I want an end to the patriarchal society we've found ourselves in (in NO little fault due to the Church, the Pope and all the Kings of England!!) and a return to the gentle, co-operative matriarchy.

Consumerism is patriarchal. War is patriarchal. Oppression of women is patriarchal. The Inquisition, the Holocaust; patriarchal.

and I want it NOW. *



what else ya got?

*blame Barbara G. Walker. I've slowly, quietly become radicalized b/c of her and her damn knitting books!!

I want a cheese steak, with extra cheese, pepperoni, and ketchup, with a side of fries. And a Killian's Red.

I'll denounce the patriarchy as much as the next guy. (OK, probably more than the next guy...) But I'm skeptical that this

I'm with Steve...

My first "matriarchal" thoughts were Mrs Thatcher and Mme Defarge

I want a simple life. I want to wake up, make coffee, and peer out the window of my fairly isolated little home. I want to walk a path to the market and pick stuff out of my own garden. I want to be far from the rat race and only see the rats I want to see. I want to peer up into the sun from beneath my straw-brimmed hat while I tend my little plot of land, and smile at how peaceful it all is. I want to listen to the rain and thunder on a summer day and read books or make preserves. I want to go to bed next to my love, exhausted and happy, and anticipate the glorious possibilities of a new day.

I'm so unrealistic.
