Are you kidding? Officials don't face any real consequences of Screw Ups? How about Van Jones-- who, 8 years ago, said something stupid, and lost his job as energy czar?

My point is this: When google messes up, we give Google a chance to listen and rectify. When Government messes up (which it always will, because it is run and managed by human beings), we don't. And we ought to.
