good point, esk
I have posted before about the statistical certainty that career govt officials who never lose their jobs even if incompetency leads to mass death. I have also posted that while we focus on elected officials, career govt officials stay on through turn overs in the WH and Congress, silently making and enforcing regulations that hold producers down. EPA, IRS, DHS, Homeland Security, DOE,DEA,ATF...on and on...

Good article. A nation of Sheeple.

Quote below is so true:

"One of the key differences between mistakes that we make in our own lives and mistakes made by governments is that bad consequences force us to correct our own mistakes. But government officials cannot admit to making a mistake without jeopardizing their whole careers."

thanks for posting, xenok. good article
