More and more, I'm thinking that rather than even bother, just ignore these
jokers. The thing is, government will never ever represent reality. None of
these people will ever have the slightest idea about what needs to be done
beyond making more money for their friends at the country club.

What will _always_ work is the inevitable tendency of the end user to find ways
of circumventing the idiocy that is implemented by our corporate betters, and
making technology work the way it is supposed to.

The Snafu Principle will prevail :-)
