He had a point...? Okay, fog coming in. What was his point, that his way was better then your way? You follow orders in the militery, that I understand but in the real world that wouldn't cut it. If you find a better way to do something on the job then take it to the top, impress the boss and get that raise. In other words, if you want the banana then piss on the other monkeys and get your self a banana.

My son who is retired now worked for the state of NJ. In the electric control dept. He came up with a lot of new ideas to improve the work.In the 70s he brought the Cad system in that done away with the drawing boards. Every thing after that was done on the computer. He always got a monatery reward for his suggestions. But do you know what he got the most money for suggesting? He said they should put ash trays in the mens room. They gave him $700. dollars. So never think your ideas are to small.

The last sentence of my post intended to be ironic.
Clearly, was not taken so. English is not my mother language (Brazilian portuguese is), so the portuguese-english version, straight in my mind, may have lost something. Subjectivity, I suppose.
BTW, if I have someday to reassemble a Madsen machinegun, will do it my own way.
Finding the adequate ammo will be a little difficult (machine-gun 7x57 fmj ammo - loaded to higher pressure than rifle ammo)
Best regards.

Sorry that I had mis-understood your intent. Like you said, you had to follow orders. BTW - Johnny W. was my favorite Tarzan.

This can work for good and bad. One reason we humans are a higher animal is we watched others and copied what they did. And we lived in groups so we could see what others do. What if we had to keep re-learning how to grow our food or hunt. When someone finds a better method we copy that and don't need to re-invent it our selves. Of course we learn both good and bad things. Only some other animals do this and only in a limted way.

On my first job as a teenager I was approached by a member of the kitchen staff, and told to slow down, because I was making them look bad. Two years later, I had 53 people all much older than I was, working under me. But a few years later I found that your life cold be made miserable if you asked anyone to work in a union shop. Maybe members of Congress aren't monkey's but all started out with union jobs.
