Glimpse of Sanity ... From The Bureacracy, Not From Politicians

U.S. Peace Corps Adopting OpenEMR for use in 77 Countries World-wide

I'm telling ya ... only intelligent people in gov anymore are in the career bureaucracies... NOT in the politicians or their political appointees. Who would have thought that bureaucracy would become a reservoir of group intelligence, hiding out from the deadly influence of politics?

Congress & lobbyists likely let this slip ONLY because they're working on closing down the Peace Corp anyway, and in their arrogance, didn't sense the danger from any positive impact it might generate in the interim. In their minds, it's a "Dead Agency Walking." Let's hope it keeps coming back, as the Undead Group Intelligence.

Zombie Bureaucracies as the nth Coming of Group Intelligence? History is chock full of such stories. Often, the damaged social undead are more adaptive than the living, fatcat social killers.
