Once again, I've written a post about the thrilling world of service audits; incredibly, I keep being invited back. This post is titled, "Service audits are risky business.

My contact with DaftBlogger told me:

rand()m quote

In the wake of 9/11, we [in America] have made the decision as a society that we can never again create something in which we can take pride, for fear that someone will destroy it. Moreover, we must suppress any trace of individualism, lest someone have the desire to rise above the bland sameness that protects us. I have, alas, no idea how to recapture our courage.
