Peer Review: is not what it seems. Somehow to be judged or critiqued by your peers, just turns out to be something like a session where everybody and their brother has a safe forum to take potshots at you, under the guise of objective criticism. Peer, schmeer, and I had something to say about it back in 1993.

The Obedience Review

Standing for review
In a circle of your peers,
Seems like a sunrise firing squad
That's aimed at all your fears.

Amidst administrative chest thumps
The announcement is precise,
You must meet the unit standards
Or prepare to pay the price.

At first a small citation
To punish your behavior,
And if you don't correct yourself
Start praying to your savior,
Because until you tow the line
And follow every rule,
You'll have a leave of absence
Till you pass obedience school.
