All this talk about "government", "USG", "TLAs" etc is rather unprecise, vague and general. Can we compile a list of 100-200 persons that ARE the US government, maybe then we can examine the issues more scientifically ? 1. George mini-Bush 2. Collin Powel 3.

I don't know how wise it is to put lists together. Several agencies have funny reactions to things like that, and start using terms like "targeting" et al. ;~) E

Unfortunately, the "newsmakers" have minimal effect in the near term; the beauraucracies involved have inertia to beat the the band. (two examples: 1) Reagan killes the B1, so USAF created the Strategic Program Office, same people, same building, same contracts - when it was revived, renamed again to B1, same people, same building, same contracts. 2) Congress said no mor U2s, so USAF built TR-1s and didn't rename them to the U2 designation until the contract was complete. Same plane.) PHM --- Anonymous <nobody@noisebox.remailer.org> wrote:

Kill every sitting politician and bureaucrat tonight, and tomorrow their hundred million constituents would be stumbling over each other in their haste to erect new ones in place of those killed. Kill the hundred million, and government would dry up and blow away, but it ain't gonna happen. Who are the hundred million? Start with Social Security recipients and go from there. Compiling a list of a few hundred is tilting at windmills. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQBVAwUBO+kfzfPsjZpmLV0BAQFuIgH7BGfO4DxrKhnrAlu3rw3N0nuKwzC9yRF4 wJZ6l+e38TNl5T+04liCViDq23d2g8GHU0FP6B4aXtyKNRpg6wyI3g== =hwjC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
