"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." Margaret Mead (Mostly what other say will be in italics, what I say will not. There will be occasions when this is messed up or forgotten, but generally it will true- for those keeping track of the opining vs the reporting!)

US Politics | AMERICAblog News: UK private security chief sees mass privatization of British police
This is insane. Of course, the whole privatization push is insane. How anyone expects taking a non-profit public function, adding a profit layer, and providing the service for LESS money to actually work is beyond me. All one has to do is look at healthcare. What is the lowest cost of administration healthcare service? Medicare, by orders of magnitude.
And most government services are government services for the clear and simple reason that they need to be run for a large mass of people at all times whether or not they make a profit. The few services that, in the past, were parcelled out to private entities, or allowed to remain private, were all regulated and treated as utilities.
I wish to hell someone had blown the Chicago School of Business off the face of the earth about 30-40 years ago (preferably while St Ronny was visiting) :) This whole business good/government evil thing might have been nipped in the bud before America turned into Thailand East.

The Enemies Within: The 20 Most Dangerous Conservatives And Their Organizations - The Christian Left Blog
Unlike Christianleft.org, I DO hate these people and want to demonize them. It's the least we can do, since they're doing it to us, by a factor of about 100.

Absurd: Tea Party Mayor Rejects Federally Funded, Job-Creating Amtrak Line
At least, unlike Gov. Rick "Why, yes, I've been convicted of fraud" Scott in Florida, he isn't screwing an entire state!
