It saddens me when public officials and bureaucrats are criticized for ulterior motives, none of which I have ever found in a government bureaucrat, or when someone personalizes disagreements.

The people of God want pastors, not clergy acting like bureaucrats or government officials.

They're never going to be repaid. Adam Smith said that no government had ever repaid its debts and the same can be said of the private sector. The U.S. government does not intend to repay its trillion dollar debt to foreign central banks and, even if it did intend to, there's no way in which it could. Most of the corporations now are avoiding paying their pension fund debts and their health care debts.

Everybody who does anything for the public can be criticized. There's always someone who doesn't like it.

(Officials' powers) are so vaguely formulated, they are so broad, that in effect a bureaucrat, if he wants to ... can put our existence under threat.

Unlike the phone system, which is engineered around an application, the Internet layered model allows you to, in essence, separate applications from infrastructure.
