Don't let it settle

I'm reading in my Google News that the Welsh assembly is approving the merger of various NHS trusts.

What strikes me as stupid in health, education and other areas of government is the need to not allow anything time to work.

I really want to know what these people think they're doing and what their real objective is because it certainly is not to improve things.

If they really wanted to make things better, they wouldn't be bending over backwards trying to find the best way to annoy as many people as possible. They wouldn't be trying to keep everyone confused with a constant barrage of new initiatives and ideas and procedures without allowing time to see if the old ways sucked.

My questions are simple and few;

What do they think they're doing?

I See why you say that

I heard a put-down on the radio tonight, one spoken by a government Minister. It went something like this

"Your opinion is so full of Conspiracy Theories, it would shame a juvenile anorak"

The problem is that it is highly unlikely that a political party would ever adopt the kind of position that a juvenile anorak would take.

What she effectively told me as I listened to her, was that she is unable to comprehend an opinion apart from hers.

Why can't people be polite and say "I understand why you think that, but I believe you are wrong and this is why..."?

I meet people every day who would rather insult someone for being different and wrong rather than actually understand what is being said, why it is being said and what can be learned from it.
