You may find it ironic, but my experience in government service with various liars, blowhards and screwups taught me a lot about some of the characters I would meet later in the private sector. For those who love to bash the government, I would say the bad guys are the clear minority and the system itself is the problem, not the majority of talented, dedicated people trying to make it do something.
But they are out there, no doubt - the screamers, the liars, the connivers, the whole lot.
Tony deserved to be popped - I hope most of the people following this case can see that. He took ordinary bad judgment and trumped it up into what was literally a major federal case. Stupid.
I was never angry about any of the playground shit thrown in my direction - it was so ridiculous, who could take it seriously? But even I was surprised when I found the neurosis behind the BS had progressed so far. |
