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[She (a woman politician) will be challenging a system that is still wedded to militarism and that saves billions of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29959]]></link><description><![CDATA[She (a woman politician) will be challenging a system that is still wedded to militarism and that saves billions of dollars a year by underpaying women and using them as a reserve cheap labor supply]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In view of all the deadly computer viruses that have been spreading lately, Weekend Update would like to remind you: ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9436]]></link><description><![CDATA[In view of all the deadly computer viruses that have been spreading lately, Weekend Update would like to remind you: when you link up to another computer, you're linking up to every computer that that computer has ever linked up to.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm half Swedish and I don't like lutefisk, ...
