Do I personally? No, otherwise I would be at least partially stupid myself.
I will say that many people simply don't think in terms of idealism, at least not to the extent they'd allow it to impact major life decisions.
And many who are idealistic would still feel they can "change the world" more effectively outside the government than within...
- mr_luc 13y agoI'm on board with the assessment that government and government agencies have some truly brilliant, dedicated people working in them. However, some - maybe most - of those people work all day long to impede the effectiveness of others. And that's in the best governments. I agree that we shouldn't assume that government workers are hacks. But I think you can fairly label almost any government "stupid," when you consider how it behaves as an entity, regardless of the mixture of the people that act as its cells.
