All;
-Like every bureaucracy, their (DMV) charter is perpetuation of their
existence, not to provide any kind of efficient, quality service.
Sadly, the whole TQM "movement" hasn't had much of an effect on any
service organizations, and probably never will.
Like all parasites, they (DMV) feed off their hosts (the taxpayer),
but not so much as to weaken them and kill their "food source".This is
called "economic parasitism" or socialism or.....
The DMV is in business to take in revenue for licences, registrations,
in any combination of clauses and fines in order to maximize their
revenues. Cutting to the chase, this is the only reason they exist.If
they really cared about only giving licenses to competent drivers,
they'd be cutting off revenue that perpetuates their existence.
-Re-read Marx & Engels...& John Maynard Keynes. They, along with Adam
Smith, et al, were required reading in my introductory MBA
classes.The picture becomes a little clearer within a capitalistic
system how deficit-side economics/bureaucracies came in to their
heyday during the Depression to stimulate the economy. We just now
can't get rid of them or streamline their operations.
-My last comment...just look at the inefficiency of the USPS, AMTRAK,
and every other gov't. entity that constantly runs at a deficit.
-Ready for the flames......

Eddy,
You better hope they don't establish "competency" requirements for
dirvers' licenses! Given the fact that you associate with known Tiger
owners, you wouldn't have a prayer! You can't honestly think you or
anyone else could be so "competent" a driver as to never cause an
accident!
