Read this! Pathetic lowlife A pretends to be an authority figure over the phone to get a manager at some fast food restaurant to strip search an employee.
Pathetic lowlife B is the manager who actually decided to believe someone on the sheer basis that they claimed to be an authority figure, no need for evidence (I mean hey, if they ARE an authority figure, they don't need to provide evidence, or some idoitic "logic" like that).
Pathetic lowlife C is the rest of the employees who didn't do anything out of fear of defying the manager.
Even the victim of this showed signs of being too complient for her own good.
This is a natural part of the human psyche, but another part of our psychology is the ability to override this when we take the time to think about the situation. Just because we ARE this weak doesn't mean we shouldn't try to stop being like this. I wear glasses because I refused to accept my genetic limitations.
In other words, people are idiots but they don't have to be. This reflects badly on the entire species.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
