Just read an ironic piece

Last edited Wed Feb 6, 2013, 12:24 AM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

In gaming fiction, since it applies to the current US

Imagine politicians who are forced into almost constant campaigning and a strong public service with bureaucrats controlling things, with a secret agency being the true power behind all?

I had to laugh. With Citizens United we are in the age of constant campaigning and staff has developed expertise beyond that of the pols they serve. Some might even argue the national security state does control a lot of what goes on behind the shadows...

Art, as always, is a mirror...and this being a Canadian work...(Heavy Gear, Southern Field Guide write up on the Southern Republic). I confess, I read this paragraph a few times and had a good laugh.

:whatever:

Too bad for the oblate spheroid.

The fact is that the federal beuracracy rights parts of bills that are passed by a congress that never bothers to read them. In other words, they are essentially governing themselves with no oversight from legislatures that are far more interested in Dominican prostitutes than actually governing.

Add in the career beuracrats, the executives, sit in their jobs for years, essentially untouchable and you have a recipe for the rule of a thousand little tyrants. You wind up with a government as malformed and as non-responsive as the one we have today.
