[QUOTE="oldschool, post: 768956, member: 71262"] Governments themselves are not necessarily evil. Politicians and corporations dictate how governments function. It was politicians and political appointees who messed with Flint's water system, not the career administrators and technicians. The career bureaucrat in a government office is often doing the best job he can. It is the politicos, corps and political appointees running those agencies who screw things up. In Michigan in the 70's it was PBBs in feed grain and contaminated milk and milk products. Government agencies and technocrats actually discovered the source of the problem. Public servants are usually just that, regular people trying to do a good job. Remember The Peter Principle: incompetents rise to the top in most organizations, private or not. Political appointees and the people behind them are the real culprits. Otherwise, all that I'm certain of is this: [MEDIA=youtube]jOERMMssC0I[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
