We join the meeting already in progress

Meeting Leader (aka undeserving authority figure): "We must decide on the point in question after the formulation of the team framework as it applies to the leadership structure. The issue concerns whether or not there is an authority on the team would be the official officially in charge of the daily goings on in the summer."

Concerned Traditionalist:"Well speaking as a parent I say there just has to be someone we can all point to and say they are the cheif administrator."

uneffected voice #1: "It is always best to have one ultimate power in any organizational system"

uneffected voice #2: "The buck must stop somewhere"

Other Oldhead:"rebellious outsider, we would like to hear your opinion"

rebellious outsider:"I do not think you can have a team following the concept just outlined and passed not half an hour ago in this room, then turn around and say this person is the true person in charge. It undermines the very purpose of its existance"

Willing Imperialist:"I recall a time when I thought differently, and I appreciate your opinion, rebellious outsider, but age and guile has given me insight into the matter of the way things really are."

rebellious outsider: "OK I understand that, but does age and..."

Willing Imperialist:"And that is enough of a majority to decide things for tonight."
