Let's see. If we take a realistic look at how government bureaucracies perform rather than assuming that somehow human nature inside a bureaucracy is magically going to change if our government becomes socialistic we are encouraging mediocrity? It's a world-wide phenomena that bureacrats and bureaucracies are very resistant to change. This has been documented for decades, but acknowledging this is somehow a negative. LOL.

Why then are not the majority of the leadership and mid-level bureaucrats not gone? They are all responsible for the problem. It's pervasive. Changing one man, or even a few people isn't going to change anything. The entire socialistic structure has to go. Personal responsibility must exist all the way structure. As if that is going to happen in a society that seems to abhor the concept. > > > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
