We have seen the future, and it sucks.

Jerry Pournelle on the Fourth

4th July 2010

Read it.

We have paid public officials with tax money to paint out an American flag mural just before the Fourth of July, because it was on state property without a permit. Caltrans officials quickly pointed out that this wasn’t intentional disrespect, it’s just that murals aren’t allowed on state property without a permit, and this was just discovered, and of course once it was discovered they had to act. Aren’t you glad we’re getting the government we are paying for? Do you think that in these economic times we might do with fewer public officials whose job it is to enforce this regulation?
