I've been a little depressed lately, what with what appears to be almost every single organization I ever respected revealed, one after another, to be a nest of baby birds being eaten by vipers. Is this just how humanity is? Do ALL attempts to form any sort of organization just end in utter corruption and psychopathy? Is there any way to prevent the psychopaths from rising to the top and ruining everything anyone with good intentions set out to do?
"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)
