Costly exercises in futility: CoEs

Since the CoE into the Lock Joint sewer contract in 1956, we must have had over 50 COEs and I challenge anyone to produce evidence of any benefit accrued from even one of them. They were all costly exercises in futility.

Until we learn to elect and then appoint morally qualified, reasoning adults to high office we will continue to live with rum-shop politics and its twin sister — disastrous and extremely costly decision-making.
