Quotes: "Big, Drastic, [Unproven] Things"

Politicians and parents and children and venture capitalists... tend to want to do big, drastic things which could have immediate results... Most of these ideas have been tested on a relatively small scale; almost none of them have shown lasting results at a large scale. -- euters' columnist Felix Salmon

Again tying back to something I like to point out: politicians like to test and test something on focus groups until they see a result indicating their idea works. And it’s wrong to do that. But it looks good on paper, especially ballots, so it will continue.
