[VN Boards Archive]
Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

No one is watching and the press in uninterested. The only reason this is getting press is they really screwed up big time. Most are exactly like this but not as high profile.

The word it out on conference. They will now use different words to define their party.

?“Annual meeting.” Using the word “annual” conveys a sense that it’s just a routine event. Nothing to see here, people .?.?.

?“Seminar.” Makes us think of lecture halls and trying to stay awake. So boring, no one will notice.

?“Symposium.” Implies lots of deep thoughts and has a certain air of gravitas about it.

?“Forum.” Sounds Roman, which makes us think of togas, which makes us think of “Animal House.”

Well, maybe avoid “forum,” too.

There are three kind of liberals;
Stupid, ignorant or evil
The result is always evil but the intent is not always evil. Not that it makes much difference in the long run.

But this is unavoidable in government agencies, no matter where you're from. And it is one of the biggest threats of any society: the parasitical bureaucrats killing the host.

It's what killed Imperial China. It's what brought down the Soviet Union. The bureaucrats (or Mandarins, or whatever they may be called in a particular society) choke the system until it basically shuts down. They also can set whatever agenda they please and be accountable to nobody. Not the monarchs of Imperial China, not the oligarchy of the Politburo, and not the congressmen of the USA. We liberals may sometimes be happy with the results now but imagine if the bureaucrats were all whackjob evangelicals. worried

Our GSA is the worst of the worst, but there are plenty more examples to be found. Anyone who's spent time in our armed forces could tell you stories about the bureaucrats of the Pentagon.

It's even more ironic when it's the actual branch of government that should control unnecessary expenditure done by the government.
