[QUOTE="Sgt Dog, post: 4339074, member: 15840"] This could have been worse and frankly while it doesn’t make a pimple on the entire travesty of North Carolina it could have cost lives and been more than a pimple for at least one family. Yet, the interview with the City Manager is a compelling case study of bureaucracy. There is an amount of ‘process’ necessary to make orderly process of societal functions. There is also a time when bureaucracy becomes your enemy. And that is precisely when those employed begin to view themselves and their function as more important than the function and those they were created to serve. This, my dear friends, is where we find ourselves today with the entirety of a government that has inverted its relationship with its citizens. This is just a marvelous case study that illustrates ‘we are there’! It is time to downsize and reestablish who serves who. [/QUOTE]
