P F Tinmore, et al,
This is OFF TOPIC, but an amusing break in this thread.
Actually, I kind-a-like this particular short video.
(COMMENT)
While I may not agree with the presentation, you have to admire the snappy way it is put together.
The one thing that I think is missing in these presentations, is that --- there is no one less trustworthy than an American Politician; unless (of course) it is a Commission orchestrated by politicians that want their five minutes of fame.
Most of what Congress (House or Senate) does often sounds Courageous, but actually follows the 6 Phases of Project Management made famous in the 1970's.
(1) Wild euphoria when the new system is announced,
(2) Growing concern,
(3) ”Near total disillusionment as the systems people realize almost all the goals set down in stage 1 are unattainable (mainly because Congress never really intended to deliver on the objective)”
(4) Unmitigated disaster,
(5) Search for the guilty, in the absence of evidence,
(6) Punishment of the innocent, and (7) promotion of the uninvolved.
