The Angry Astronaut throws his two cents in

Pardon me if I get a little impatient sometimes with the assumptions of certain people. This Angry Astronaut has a "touching" faith in the goodwill of government bureaucrats. Yours truly has seen enough in these last several years that dispels any such faith.

The bureaucrats mostly care about themselves. Just like everybody else. That may seem excessively cynical, but it is the only thing I can think of that makes any sense of what's happening today. In other words, nobody gives a shit about anything that is outside their own skins.

Oooh! That's too cynical. Okay, maybe so. But the idea of pure hearted government officialdom is just too damned naive for me to believe either. There's been too much of the otherwise in recent history. If they were such sweet angels, there would be a perfect world. Everyone should know better than that. Otherwise, you are wearing rose colored glasses.
