Government as a service is toxic

It's amazing what governments are able to get away with, and how easy it would be to change. The technology exists, it is too cheap to measure, and its advantages far outweigh the costs.

Why are we not pursuing a truely open government which enables innovation rather than squashing it? Because of those with vested interests, both in and out of office. We need to insist on a government that empowers individuals rather than pigeonholing them. If we keep expecting to just pay taxes and get results back we're going to be disappointed. If we get real time feedback from them it will be so much easier to alter our environment to get optimal results.

Please stop supporting the status quo, we can do so much better.
