The people that do tend to be less well educated or members of right wing
extremist organisations.

Sorry it was a bit on an "In joke" about the posts Y.Porat makes in
news://sci.physics. Basically he is illiterate and woefully uneducated and
convinced that photons have mass. Any one who disagrees is called a "Nazi"
(or more often than not a Nasi, Nsai or Nzai) and subjected to a tirade of
(badly spelt) insults.

Particularly with the fact that the children affected by watching their
communities go to the wall grow up with a whole new set of social
problems. Society in general can take hours to damage and generations to
fix.

That doesn't make any sense, since I'm sure they knew the ground
rules before they bid, so why would they waste money putting a bid
package together if they knew they wouldn't win the job?

When you want to attack something, you conveniently ignore the 90+% it
does things right and focus peoples minds on the 1% it was very wrong.
Then rather on trying to fix the 1% by improving the system, you push
your own agenda for change.

I see it all the time with nimby's.
