"Liberals would like to rebuild the station while the trains are running; radicals prefer to blow up the station and forgo service until the new structure is built." ~Rex Tugwell, 1935
I suppose that puts me more in the "radical" camp.
...but is blowing things up and awaiting a rebuild sustainable? The same processes and infrastructure that is the current system is what produced the train station to begin with...
It just seems like "tweaking" things never really works.
I realize that there are times when gradual improvement over time is the sanest approach, but I think there's also a time to raze it down and start over.
