Evidence of the Failure of Big Bureaucracy

By Douglas V. Gibbs

Liberalism fails whenever it is tried.

I get it. Society is plagued with various social problems. The social engineers want to address those societal ills, and they believe the way to do that is through government.

These people see a flawed value system, and blame individuality for it. All must conform, so they set out to create uniformity, where any deviation is treated as a malady.

What emerges is a bureaucracy that dictates every move of the citizens. In the name of good intentions, or for the good of the community, the ruling elite take control, and then the idiocy sets in.

The following is the result of this kind of madness:

Lenore Zimmerman, who lives in Long Beach, says she was on her way to a 1 p.m. flight to Fort Lauderdale when security whisked her to a private room and took off her clothes. “I walk with a walker — I really look like a terrorist,” she said sarcastically. “I’m tiny. I weigh 110 pounds, 107 without clothes, and I was strip-searched.” - NY Daily News
