It wasn't really intended to be a right hook (I'm a lefty anyway). It's true, there are good people in Government; no argument there - I work with them every day (I work in government). I work with contractors who are trying to do their best every day (and they get paid for it too). At the same time I see so many people who work in the same place who are nothing but roadblocks and speed bumps. I'll let it go at that.
