Thinking outside the box, that is just what we need in DC. Engineers of course would need to evaluate the practicality. Newt, with this idea, invokes the first phase of a very successful creative problem solving paradigm: Spin out ideas uncritically, followed with the second phase, critical analysis of the spun thoughts.

Let’s hope Moochelle doesn’t look at the climate change mirrors. The whole country might get 7 years bad luck.

You and I know that. I did a stint with a small engrg firm when solid modeling was new tied in with FEA and we had these round table idea sessions for customers products all the time.

The problem is our Public and our Culture IMHO won't want all the details, they want the Cliff Notes version. In that regard, Newt may burn out the American Public with his border line ADD thought process (His former chief of staff on CSPAN referred to him being this possibly)

IMHO this would be the greatest danger of a Newt Admin. his numbers would plumet unless he can keep this creative thought process as an internal function. For example, Mr. Newt should give us a coherent Energy Policy in a press conference, not in bit and drabs. If you want to refer back to the process and give tidbits of what worked and what was left in the drawing board waste-basket, that is fine, but keep it concise...

I’d rather they just stay inside the box. I’m not interested in Newt conservative ideas to fix liberal problems nor his liberal ideas to fix conservative problems.

We spend too much money. We can’t afford dancing mirrors.

Right. At one time someone was sitting around saying “What if we could go to the Moon?” and another someone was sitting there saying “That’s a stupid idea.”
