"Yet no one in charge seemed to see this as a failure. Or more precisely, no one in charge and none of the supporting ideologues were able to see this as a failure of the Globalist theory - a theory that had growing power for two decades. That is, twice the length of Napoleon's reign, four times that of a world war."
-John Ralston Saul, The Collapse of Globalism

That's fun!! Ok, been tagged.. see blog for results.
Turns out mine is too, its a book documenting the final years of the Roman Empire.
Yay, thanks for tagging me, Alex! Naturally, I have the results posted at my blog, but here they are for redundancy's sake:
"Rather than using a person's group membership as a basis for classification, halo effects occur when people generalize about a variety of attributes based on their knowledge of one attribute of an individual. A smiling person is judged to be more honest than a frowning or scowling person, even though there is no consistent relationship between smiling and honesty. Halo effects may be positive or negative."
~ Essentials Of Negotiation, Third Edition by Roy J. Lewicki, David M. Saunders, Bruce Barry, and John W. Minton, Chapter 5: "Perception And Negotiation".
I don't read books that have 123 pages. Playboy only has about 30?
Geez, do I feel akward.
