[liberationtech] Fixing Broken Government next TUESDAY Jan. 18

[Yosem Companys]

*From:* Stewart Brand <sb at gbn.org>

We hire our governments to manage long-term matters such as justice,
education, and infrastructure and to do so with clarity and adroitness.
When repeated attempts at short-term fixes layer up so thickly that
dysfunction becomes the norm, the whole apparatus has to be rethought and
reshaped.  Now would be a good time.

*"Fixing Broken Government" Philip K. Howard, Cowell Theater, Fort Mason
Center*, San Francisco,* 7pm, Tuesday January 18*. The show starts promptly
at 7:30pm.
