Now This Just Pisses Me Off!

The gist of the story:

• The local government, advised by engineers, does something that some local citizens don't like.
  


• The local citizens do their homework, put together a counter-argument, back it up with the same kind of work the city's engineers did, and submit it.
  


• An engineer working for the local government reads their submission and is surprised at the quality of it.  Then he notes that the work wasn't signed by a licensed engineer – so he files a complaint against the citizens for practicing engineering without a license (?!?!).

As one of my favorite bloggers used to say, before he was hounded off the Internet:

Rope.

Tree.

Bureaucrats and their minions.

Some assembly required.
