Beware the "Grey Ones!" The English novelist J.B. Priestley wrote a thought-provoking tale called The Grey Ones that told of a sinister secret society that specialized in discouraging optimistic people. The Grey Ones did this by explaining--in merciless detail--why progressive ideas and hopeful dreams could never possibly work, "human nature being what it is!" Sometimes, we might be forgiven for suspecting that co-ops have attracted more than their fair share of Grey Ones--those experts who seem to delight in pointing out to us, in scornful detail, why cooperative practices and principles are hopelessly at odds with conventional management wisdom.
