Indeed Shawny, life is full of nepotism. I was just talking to my wife about the new University year that has started in Amsterdam. We have about a month of all the stupid posh fukkin twats running around in shirts and ties doing incredibly stupid things to get into the Varsity clubs, whiule the elders of the Clubs (2nd and 3rd year students) look on like they are the Prime Ministers of the country. They have them swimming along canals, standing still looking at buildings for hours on end, 24 hour vows of silence, among a zillion other crap shit. These are the people that will be at the top in the Netherlands, purely because of the fact they are in Alpha fukkin Beta House, or whatever. However there are people like my Mother out there who worked for the Head of Education in Scotland and still I didn't get didly squat business out of her "oh I couldn't do that" she would say when I ask if there was any money I could make while she spent millions building new colleges and schools. lol.
As far as Economic systems are concerned, I trully believe in smaller economies. There is more transparancy, and more important, large corporations do not take every single thing over. Diminishing returns are a bitch and it's something that our society seems to forget.
And Mrt, practically everyone lies on their CV. I have been in recruitment now for over 13 years and have seen only a few completely 100% accurate resumes. Most people who finish for a company in September, October and don't start work until say January, will always just leave their CV as finished in December. Or will just put a year date, like 2012-2013, lol.
