Google Wants To Administer the First White Spaces
aabelro writes "Google proposes to the FCC to become the administrator of a White Spaces Database containing geo-location information about devices using the free channels in the radio spectrum."
Bah that hasn't happened in the first world for a few hundred years how do we know if it even works anymore.
Maybe that's why they enshrined the right to protest against the government? How many anti-war protesters were arrested for protesting the war (and not something else) during the Bush administration? How many Tea Party types were arrested for their protests (and again, not for something else?) Neither of those groups were really the victors (in that there's still a war and still a health care bill), but simply protesting the government isn't illegal.
No, it's the government's job to make laws. That's a social function.

You've never worked in a modern corporation have you?
What about the Postal Service? Or the National Weather Service? What about the National Institute of Standards and Technology? What about the Department of Labor? These are a few government services that seem to perform rather well. These aren't the only entities that perform well, either. I just didn't feel like spending hours listing various government services.
Without you providing actual examples, I can only assume you dislike the bureaucracy. The government doesn't have a monopoly on bureaucracy. It is only the most famous environment. It is present in corporations as well(think Office Space). Google has bureaucracy. Anytime large amounts of money are being used on anything, or there is a possibility of fines or jail because of lost paperwork, there will be bureaucracy. If this is the only reason you have for the government not doing something, I say that the government should start today.
