Re: Sunday, September 4, 2005
Fascinating! I read the Escapable Logic post from 2003 about how all the government bureaucrats are incompetent and replacable by a mindless web application, how those self-same bureaucrats are causing the most problems and need to be escorted out of the building by an IT SWAT team, and how the big cost of government isn't the payroll, but the bloated programs (unidentified). Then, I read your post above about how the federal government has failed the disaster recovery effort and needs to get in there now to set things right... Oh, really. First, which of those incopentent, dangerous bureacrats that you would send home for all of our safety would you want to take over the lead of this effort? Second, why is it that we want less government, except when we want more, except we doubt they'd be able to do the job right because they're unimaginative and bureaucratic-minded, except they should be able to figure all this out ahead of time, except that only one or two non-government people did so...There seems to be some internal logic problems with the reasoning on your post and the one over on Escapable Logic that you point to. How about this: Local, state and national government agencies were overwhelmed by the multiple catastrophies the gulf coast endured last week. Now that we've come to some sort of understanding of the scope and range of problems, let's start to reestablish order and safety in the area so that relief from all directions can begin.
