I wish we *had* politicians with a working knowledge of stability. Corporate executives too, for that matter. -- Les Cargill

It's not politics, but one of the places you can learn control theory is in economics school. I helped hire my replacement at FLIR; the woman that we hired had gotten started in control theory because she was getting a Bachelor's in economics. -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com I'm looking for work -- see my website!

Econ is a disaster area. So good for her. But, I fear - emphasis on "getting started". And I don't mean that they should make a fetish of stability, either. -- Les Cargill
