I didn’t say nothing can be done. It’s just that I’m becoming more and more convinced that Frank Herbert was right when he wrote:

“Power attracts the corruptible. Absolute power attracts the absolutely corruptible. This is the danger of entrenched bureaucracy to its subject population. Even the spoils systems are preferable because levels of tolerance are lower and the corrupt can be thrown out periodically. Entrenched bureaucracy seldom can be touched short of violence. Beware when Civil Service and Military join hands.”

Why do you bother to post on FRee Republic?

Why not just stay in bed, go fishing, get drunk, or whatever. If you think the struggle is useless, fine, that's your prerogative. But if you think the thing to do is show up here and preach Doom and Gloom, I'm really not interested in listening.

Sorry if that's a bit blunt, but I haven't the time for niceties.
