similar complaints are made about public schools. (Private schools brag about their lack of bureaucracy.) Some of them are valid, some not. What good is bureaucracy? For example, the fact that the public schools have to (try to) offer equal services to special-needs (disabled) students imposes all sorts of rules and administrative jobs on the public schools. These obligations require bureaucracy. (Private schools usually don't have to live up to these obligations.) -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
