From whence springs this plague of petty rule-making bureaucrats who think that their life purpose is to tell others what they cannot and can do, when people individually have freedoms that are being trampled at a furious rate? The story above is a classic example of lose-lose. More people lose their freedom to be individuals and more people make more rules from the comfort of chairs in swank offices, instead of helping fellow humans by planting yam gardens in the highlands of starving New Guinea or doing similar, practical humanitarian acts.
I’m retired now, but when my children were pre-school in particular, I was often away for weeks at a time doing humanitarian acts. Such separations were hard, though they might seem short.
I have a relation aged 74 who travels the world, largely at his expense, teaching teachers in remote places how to better educate children at their schools. Some parents have walked for several days to bring their children to his classes, which are under non-Government, non-religious, non-political endorsement and assistance-in-kind.
It is hard to find good feelings for the office-bound pettyfoggers.
