Sure, but, someone has to work for the government. When the government contractors come calling whom would you rather have sitting on the other side of the table. Some fool who's only goal is to get through the day with the least amount of hassle or someone who isn't afraid to evaluate an idea on it's merits and call BS if that's what it is. That isn't to say that that person wouldn't be making some sort of personal sacrifice in terms of either salary or work environment. I mean, doesn't it worry anyone else that if all the countries best and brightest minds are out there building the next Twitter we might have the B team working on things that have a far greater chance of effecting us all in the long term?
