What goes around comes around
Coyote Blog has an excellent article on the inherent problems of using the power of the state to impose good intentions on others.
I am reminded of all this because the technocrats that built our regulatory state are starting to see the danger of what they created. A public school system was great as long as it was teaching the right things and its indoctrinational excesses were in a leftish direction. Now, however, we can see the panic. The left is freaked that some red state school districts may start teaching creationism or intelligent design. And you can hear the lament - how did we let Bush and these conservative idiots take control of the beautiful machine we built? My answer is that you shouldn’t have built the machine in the first place - it always falls into the wrong hands. Maybe its time for me to again invite the left to reconsider school choice.
Read the whole thing, and then ask yourself whether it is a good thing that the some portions of CIA seems involved in politically opposing the President of the United State.

From the Coyote Blog post cited above:
“… a few smart people (ie them) made the important decisions and imposed them on the public at large, who were too dumb to make quality decision for themselves. …”
Sounds like the Neo-cons to me.
