<<So both deflection & non-answer. >>
To anyone who doesn't live in the same Bizarro World that sirs inhabits, I guess it's in order to explain that "deflection" refers to the deflection of the three questions that sirs asked me in lieu of responding to the one question that I had asked him, and "non-answer" refers to those same three questions.
<<It would seem in Tee's bizarro world, the government is the peak example of effficiency, with barely a hint of waste or fraud>>
Wrong again, in Tee's bizarro world, the prime examples of efficiency and honest dealing are World Com, Enron, Charles Keating, Adelphia, Halliburton, Bre-X, Parmalat, Arthur Andersen, Global Crossing, Conrad Black, the Rigas family. . . aww, gee, I'm getting tired of trying to remember the whole list all the way back to Teapot Dome and Charles Ponzi.
Gotta feel sorry for sirs, though, wherever the poor bugger lives, it really seems like he has to put up with dishonest, thieving, fraudulent, incompetent government which has just fastened on him like a leech and won't let go. I hope he doesn't live in a democracy, though, because that would mean his fellow citizens themselves must be either incredibly stupid or incredibly corrupt for returning this den of thieves and vultures time after time after time. And those are just some of the scandals that have already been detected. God alone knows what undetected frauds the bastards have successfully gotten away with. They can't have failed at every single effort of concealment they've made.
