mircea_popescu: this is a very visible symptom of the problem of well metastasized socialism : a general sense of entitlement in the crowd of idiots. an unwarranted expectation of efficiency on their part.
mircea_popescu: the supposed fbi/gru/gestapo/etc is simply a toilet box for the public idiocy.
