What I am talking about is the very source that causes you to respond the way you have described. People have a mental model first.

So, get a consultant.<br /><br />Politically, they are afraid to check out the issue, in case they are not correctly identifying the issue and they make an enemy.<br />Gary Pattersonhttp://www.fiscaldoctor.comnoreply@blogger.com
