Imagine an industry that consistently fails to do what it sets out to do. a factory where this year's product is invariably sleazier than last year's but, nevertheless, better than next year's. Imagine a corporation whose executives are always spending vast sums of money on studies designed to discover just what it is they are supposed to do and then vaster sums for further studies on just how to do it. Imagine a plant devoted to the manufacture of factory seconds to be sold at a loss. Imagine a producer of vacuum cleaners that rarely work hiring whole platoons of engineers who will, in time, report that it is, in fact, true that the vacuum cleaners rarely really work, and who will, for a larger fee, be glad to find out why, if that's possible. If you discover some such outfit, don't invest in it. Unfortunately, we are all required to invest in public education.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pride in their port, defiance in their eye, I see the lords of humankind pass by. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48196]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pride in their port, defiance in their eye, I see the lords of humankind pass by.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48196</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As for marigolds, poppies, hollyhocks, and valorous sunflowers, we shall never have a garden without them, both for their own ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16241]]></link><description><![CDATA[As for marigolds, poppies, hollyhocks, and valorous sunflowers, we shall never have a garden without them, both for their own sake, and for the sake of old-fashioned folks, who used to love them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tam lo'ed him like a vera brither; They had been fou for weeks thegither. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48700]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tam lo'ed him like a vera brither; They had been fou for weeks thegither.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's kind of a mess, and they wanted some fix.
