#1 There must be some axiom that says as bureaucracies grow without restriction, idiocy also grows without restriction. Maybe bureaucracies follow the 2nd law of thermo; systems tend towards more and more chaos, disorder, and randomness. The 2nd law says the process is also reversible.

#4 There is a common belief that the US has had, in general, above average presidents. That's exactly wrong. Most of them were bad to awful (with a handful of extraordinary exceptions). What makes America great is not its presidents, it is our Constitution, our institutions and our people.

#7 Our better presidents tend to be the ones who know their limitations - a most rare attribute among politicians.

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
