Umm, please spare us the kneejerk anti-government rhetoric. Governments sometime have resounding failures and resounding successes, but it isn't the fact that a government is the agent or not.
- corin_ 15y agoI'm being anti- UK politicians, not anti-government (perhaps you meant them as one and the same, but if you're not from the UK, then over here "government" can refer to just the party(ies) in power). My issue isn't with the current government, after all the DEA passed just before the last general election. But I don't see what's wrong with having the opinion that, if a group of politicians have shown incompetance in technology issues, to not have any faith in them until such a time as they buck the trend and show that they can do good too. It's not kneejerk at all, if a company or an individual person were to screw up multiple things in one area I'd think exactly the same of them.
