democracy in engineering
ooh another attack on democracy..these bl88dy engineers eh..
look.. mate.. . you can't design/invent by comittee.. sorry .. perhaps this is discrimination against dim wit fluffy sociology types (who spent most of their time in the bar or handing out radical anarchist pamphlets at Uni if memory serves me correctly)it involves constant decision making and that 'vision thing'..

engineer.. 'i don't know i haven't invented it yet'
