Well we have had a range of comments on my statements about the Central Committee adjournment times,
They range from
I disagree on your time position. I think the long drawn out meetings were one of the things that turned me away from attending. set up a time limit and table issues until next time.

I think there needs to be balance. The last meeting was a mess. It was like watching a movie in fastforward. You got an idea of what everyone was trying to accomplish but it went so quickly only a few things were actually addressed. It's important to know when it's too late but it's also important to be flexible.
I believe part of my reaction stems from the Fact that i take One Vacation Day a Month to attend the Central Committee Meetings.
So as a result my focus is on getting the work of the Committee done, rather than what time we adjourn.
I realize others may look at things differently.
I have been going to these meetings for quite a few years and you might say I am a person of consistant habits.
Some less than Kind people may say I tend to get stuck in ruts,
In any event I have for years ordered the same dinner before the meeting and ordered my desert after the meeting.
The Kitchen closes at 10:00 PM and I do not recall any time in the last 10 Years that there has not been plenty of time to order my Chocolate Cake and Ice Cream after a meeting.
So we are talking about a long drawn out meeting of an extra 30 Minutes, Perhaps and Hour? I don't think it has ever gone as long as an Hour and Half and prevented my ordering my Desert.
It saddens me to think that in just a tad over 200 years we have gone from:
With a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

What do you MEAN we might not adjourn at 8:30??
