The Ugliness of Privacy Notices
Cord:
It's not the 90's anymore, and there is no consensus that everything that is "state-run" is a "folly." In the age of Enron, global warming, Vioxx, the working assumption is that for-profit means corrupt. I don't completely share that but it is out there.
There are plenty of examples of well run govt initiatives, and it seems to me that the smaller scale efforts are often very well run.
In particular, in the last post about municipal Wi-Fi I compared the se efforts to municipal libraries, and I don't think you demonstrated that this analogy is flawed in any significant way.
You did, however, demonstrate antipathy towards public libraries.
