Hippocrates (c.460-377/359BC) and Plato (428-348BC) discussed personality and character. At that time (and probably earlier) there was a strong link between how we were and health.

		<title>Who invented bureaucracy?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Councils have pressure to reduce their budgets. The obvious answer (from the present government) is cutting paperwork and inefficiency.
