About Bureaucracy and The Ideal Politician

Bureaucracy defends the status-qua long past the time when the qua has lost its status.

Dr. Laurence J. Peter.

"Bureaucracy: A system of government in which most decisions are made by civil servants rather than by elected representatives."--Oxford Canadian Dictionary of Current English.

Then, why, in Hell, do we have political elections in Canada and especially in British Columbia, when the politicians are not doing the job for which they were elected and bureaus are used to, ILLEGALLY, pass laws into effect. Who gave these "civil servants" the authority to be doing so? It was NOT the electorate, so they have no LEGITIMATE authority to be doing so. Politics is the only profession in which a practitioner can do nothing useful, take a six month long holiday, starting every six months, still receive a salary, and a million dollar pension, for having worked so hard.


The ideal politician:

• knows little, and does less; but thinks that he knows, and does, everything,
•  can talk for hours without saying anything--in other words he or she is very good at circulating hot air,
•  is happy to begin a new six month long vacation- every six months,
•  and strictly adheres to the policies of the international U.S.A. based corporations that BOUGHT HIM/HER TOO POWER and had their party elected. After all, they really do need their retirement pensions, just in order to live, after retiring from such a stressful job.
