New Blog

OK, while I really like this piece, Church and State in Avoidable Slow Motion Collision, I have to admit that it does not fit well in the category of Government Acting Stupidly. Hopefully, I will not be able to find many Government Acting Stupidly cases that are as blatantly wasteful as the Cash for Clunkers program which I described early in this blog. Also, I don't want to be focused totally on negative postings. I prefer to think about solutions to problems, what we used to refer to in my working years as Permanent Fixes, a concept promoted by Dr. Joseph M. Juran, famed Total Quality Management consultant. The action recommended in the Church and State piece would qualify as a Permanent Fix.

So, I have established a new blog, www.permanentfixes.com, (temporarily at http://permanentfixes.blogspot.com) where I will be able to focus more on positive ideas and strategies for improvement. I will post the Church and State item there also and will keep my eyes open for opportunities to add to the governmentactingstupidly postings.
