Musing: Government

Musing of one thinking about the roving reporter who encountered a Rocky mountain hermit asked what he thought of Obama, and was told "I don't know, I've never heard that song".

There seems to be a general view among high government executives that entering upon a high government job automatically endows one with a some sort of omniscience and endows them with an ethical standard that is at least an order of magnitude higher than that of anyone in the private sector. With all due respect to everybody, this just isn't so. The government is run by fallible human beings who are no smarter than the rest of us, and they should remember that they function to serve not to rule.

Enough pontification for today.
