except I do see hope in ending that beurocracy somehow

2 things will never change: death and taxes. So I dunno. On the other hand, bureaucracy tends to be fairly slow to adapt, so things like the internet may just run rings around it? :-P And yet as I understand it, that is a large part of what may be causing the housing crises ATM, b/c giant corps bought up houses all across the nation even far from where their headquarters are located, and yet in this "highly-connected" world that no longer matters.

And so in my mind, bureaucracy comes from both government and corporate sources, the good news being that occasionally there are crumbs that they miss that the average joe & jane can scrounge - until, that is, one of those giants decides that they want it. :-(
