Comments:
I'm wary of changing the Civil Service System to the National Security Personnel System. Although my uncle was an ironworker who helped build the WTC, and my father, a fireman ten minutes away via the Holland Tunnel, I can't see, whatever personal feelings I have, the devastation of Sept 11 warranting the drastic overhaul of a system that the thousand-fold worse calamities and threats of two World Wars did not warrant. I believe our Civil Service System, with its evolution of eliminating patronage and securing workers' rights, furthers the security of our civil society. Eliminating collective bargaining and trusting one's future to man's capriciousness, rather than protective law, I think, would bring perhaps a smile to any undemocratic foe were he not too stupid to think along those lines.
