Most government officials are rushing headlong to solve the problems of 50 years ago, with their ears assailed by the sound of snails whizzing by.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When people have their own money at stake, it's a lot easier to find and settle on practical, no-nonsense solutions to engineering problems than is ever the case in the complex and endless deliberations of a government bureaucracy.
The government solution to a problem is usually as bad as the problem.
American government is like a train on a track. You have the people on the left shouting; you have the people on the right. But the train's on track. They just keep ploughing ahead.
I shall ask no more than that you agree with Dean Inge that even though counting heads is not an ideal way to govern, at least it is better than breaking them.
It is a Modern day, and these times need Modern solutions to Modern problems.
Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.
Sometimes you watch one of your favorite shows from 20 years ago and you think, 'I'm loving this, but golly, it's going at the speed of a snail.'
People have a huge desire to be listened to, for politicians to take the time to understand their problems.
I learned snails don't have ears. They live in silence. They go slowly. Slowly, slowly in silence.
Governments tend not to solve problems, only to rearrange them.
