题目: Re:

Artful Dodger: "Stupid incompetent public servants."

Those are good examples, among many thousands more & growing daily. I would only suggest that the so-called "public servants" are not really stupid or incompetent. Some at the lower levels do really believe all this regulation is somehow for the "greater good of the greater number," (a Marxist principle when coercion - i.e., laws - is utilized to achieve it) misinformed as they are. But at the higher levels, it is by design, not ignorance.

The reason I mention the 'incompetence' part is because of this excellent article I recently read, called:

THE US GOVERNMENT DID NOT FAIL ITS MISSION
IN THE WAKE OF HURRICANE KATRINA
http://freedom-force.org/freedomcontent.cfm?fuseaction=FEMA_Katrina&refpage=issues

The point therein is very well made that the government precisely & effectively succeeded in its mission....only that mission is not what most consider it to be.
