Better than cow tipping or tractor tipping - enjoy the pleasures of bureaucrat tipping.

From the lens Bureaucrat Tipping - a push for change.


Let's open it up to your ideas. Anything from civil-disobedience as taught by Thoreau, Tolstoy, King, and Gandhi; to computer programs you wrote to replace the DMV, and the privatizing of the postal service. It's time to take back our lives.

As they said in the sixties, "Let it all hang out."

    An excellent lens on one of my favorite hobbies...

    Freedom isn't free, and it isn't always easy, either--but is definitely worth the effort, and is the only way to live. Thanks!

    Bureaucracy is open wound of civilization. You made great point.

    So much here to think about, such interesting ideas. I'm amazed that I haven't come across your lenses before. Here are some Angel Blessings and I am featuring this lens on my lens "Forced Marriage - Poem and Comment", and lensrolling.

    I can see quite a few of the obdurate being annoyed by this - I agree with much of the theme but disagree with many of the details (and I wouldn't class myself as obdurate). Good though to read a lens that does provoke thinking and thought.

    Thank you for all of the food for thought. I looked at several of your links and look forward to coming back again soon.

    An awesome and powerful piece of work if one studies it intensely! And one I'd definitely take a re-look at due to the volumes of information taking the links into account. We're all aware of much of this - but it's easier to compartmentalise it somewhere back in the brain than to take the active steps in employing.

    Just popping by again Allan. You should run for President? If I could I'd vote for you. Miss you and blessed by an Angel.

    Enlightening, hope to read it earlier.

    The quote by Howard Roark definitely wins in my book - what an awesome closing statement to the idea of living life your own way.

    I look forward to reading more and learning more about this thing.

    Bureaucrat tipping! I really didn't know it had a name! an insightful and intelligent lens.

    Extremely well thought and well presented! Great job!

    If you live up to the Wallace name, you will leave quite a footprint in history for all to follow. As Einstein said, a lot of thought and effort created todays problems and now we must put more thought and effort into finding solutions whereby we "take back out lives".

    Allan, looking good my dear -- hearty congratulations on that purple star and I like your new picture. I feel like it gives us a closer view of your ideas. Oh, I've sent your lens to my mom and her squeeze for their input -- I hope they drop by to say hi. Rock on! Did I already tell ya, Happy New Year?
  • stargazer00 Nov 3, 2009 @ 11:51 am | delete
    A brilliant lens! My motto is no one can do everything but everyone can do something. So I make T-shirts, write a blog and attend classes on the constitution and founding of our country. Blessed!

    How apt. Blessed by an Angel.

    What an amazing lens. I am happy to say that I am experienced bureaucrat tipper. I am going to use all of my allotted time for my lenses today reading your lenses.

    I needed to read this and if you get my note ignore it as it is now back on board. Stranger and stranger.

    Inspirational! Thanks for sharing your refreshing perspective.
  • daria369 Nov 9, 2008 @ 8:02 am | delete
    This is one fabulous lens, I'm keeping it opened to read again and laugh and most likely - incorporate as many of the ideas above as possible into my life... :)

    A hearty SquidAngel Blessing for your fabulous presentation of ideas!
