Government can't do anything right

Government can't even run a decent email system in one of the most critical government agencies, the State Department.

Because rules and regulations and bureaucratic infighting.

It's a little odd to see DUers celebrating and trumpeting this fact but I guess that's just another dive down the DU rabbit hole.

I'll take famous Luddites for $500, Alex.

Part of the reason the U.S. is in such a mess and sorry state is the Bush admin decided they were above the people, and did secret emails and all kinds of other shit.

Saying, but Bush people did it too! is not a defense. Standards should be much higher than that.
