75. Not a particularly good example of why centralized control is necessary.

While I think centralized authority is good in some cases - and probably necessary, it should always be questioned and dismantled when not necessary.

Your wildfire example could be alleviated with better communication and less bureaucracy. I don't think it necessarily calls out for centralized control.

There is much of interest in your exchange from above, but I - like Armstead, RichM, and tom_paine - prefer to see the forest for the trees. While acknowledging that the trees are not unimportant.
