@Jeremy, I can tell you with absolute certainty that there are employees of the government of Canada who are functionally (if not wholly) illiterate because I have personally met some. But I think most of the mathematically inept work for the telecoms

@Rick, thanks. Luckily one of several of my friends are web designers. To your point, if you mean that the bills don’t have to be read because politicians vote primarily on factors other than the content of the law, I would say that is possible, and seriously problematic. Good point about bundling, but that’s a rant for another day.

Hey, I like the new layout!

I submit that many of the laws/bills that pass (or don’t) are more about money than about right or wrong. Thus, they don’t need to be read.

Then we have the whole bundling issue. In order to pass a bill dealing with health care it has to include a 750k grant to study the effects of masturbation on global warming(exaggerating for effect):)

‘Twould imply that lawmakers are literate. But that’s a subject for another post, I’m sure. In Canada, they say that we have a 100% literacy rate among government workers. I assert that we don’t but that we also can’t count.
