#1 It's real nifty having all this data accessible on the Internet. People sitting at home can see how much they're getting paid, how much vacation time they have, how much they've squirreled away for retirement. Then they find out the Chinese can see it too. Maybe it was better in the old days with paper in file cabinets...or at least with isolated networks that used proprietary telecommunications protocols. You'd think someone with a position of responsibility and power could figure it out before the Chinese end up listening in on all of the Oval Office conversations. Hey, Baraq, then the Chinese, Russians and Iranians would know for sure what a moron you are.

#4 Government is just a name for the things we do together. Like losing our national car keys.
