I believe most people's political philosophy can largely be ascertained by knowing which form of bureaucracy they believe to be less stultifying and corrupt: the corporate or the governmental.

One VC's comments: mostly on Cleantech, with occasional digressions into the Internet, politics and society. Tuesday, December 26, 2006. 80 MPG Diesel Engine. One fascinating branch of cleantech.
