Government in the 21st Century

   As you must surely know by now for the last two months I've been
   producing daily updates over at [1]my place on the pet food recall
   which, far from winding down, appears to be about in midstroke. In
   [2]today's update, I commented on an LA Times editorial which got me
   to thinking. The Food and Drug Administration is more than a century
   old, established to cope with the food and drug safety issues of a
   century ago. What would a 21^st century FDA look like? What problems
   should it be dealing with? How would it function?

   IMO our government, generally, is firmly moored to a 1950's
   organizational and performance model. Should this be changed? Can it
   be changed?

   I welcome your ideas and suggestions of approaches and resources.
   Please leave them in the comments.
