[Artemisia] Therasia for BoD, was Heraldic Suicide (was: For Dicussion - College of Heraldry return in 2000)

Well, the obvious answer to Therasia seeing all  that is wrong and no one at the top seeing all that is wrong- put Therasia at the top.  I will now be submitting Mistress Therasia von Tux as a candidate for the BoD.

Opinion: the heraldic submission workers of the SCA are invested in a 
self-perpetuating skewed viewpoint on conflict that is somewhat removed from
street-level common sense and is incapable of being fixed because the experts
with the knowledge to fix it are source of the skewed viewpoint to begin with.
(physician heal thyself?)  And the system will continue to pass things that
should bounce and bounce things that should pass because no panel of self-
appointed amateur experts that volunteer to vet conflicts with a growing 
number of subsmissions and a falling number of volunteers will ever be able
to tackle the problem successfully - as I predicted in 1987 in the proceedings
of the Known World Heraldic Symposium back when we could have actually done
something to fix the system and now have lost the opportunity, maybe forever...
but that's a whole different post for some other evening of ranting, again
with the feeling that it's just hot air because the CoA (and the whole SCA) 
will likely fall apart and fail as an organization because the flaws are 
inherent in the founding vision of the group back in 1966-1968 and there's no 
one at the top with the perspective, vision and ability to make the needed 
changes...geez, how's that for an optimistic outlook???

just my opinion, folks - and as I am fond of pointing out, opinions are
like sphincters...everyone has one or more...

I have my asbestos garb on for any new or used heralds who wish to disagree...
otherwise, I'll just crawl back into my hole now...
;-)

Therasia
