To answer the first question, no. I'm just repeating a few ideas I heard
and read last week tossed about on various news sources and web sites
reporting about the tragedy.
To answer your second question, my gut tells me no (and it's a pretty
big gut, so I always listen when it speaks). The reason--doing something
like that makes far too much sense and is far too practical, meaning
that when you get two or more bureaucrats, their assistants, their
lackeys, their pandering special interests, and the industry captains,
labor groups, organized crime, and other elements that want to put
corrupting bribe money in their pockets it will never happen. Not that I
ever doubt the integrity of anyone who is ever elected to any sort of
political office. I think they're all above reproach. Really.
