Bureaucracy for Dummies

Moral retards come in so many forms that they are almost boringly repetitive at this point. Every once in a while, however, one of them manages to screw up a painfully simple situation with distinction. I’m far from a fan of government involvement in issues of morality that don’t have a direct effect on the safety of others. That being said, the moral math on this one is pretty fucking simple.

public library computer + viewing child pornography = call the police

It’s a no-brainer, if you work as a librarian, and you observe a man viewing child pornography, you dial 911 and have the cops haul his ass to jail. Unless of course you’re employed by the government in a management position. In that case, you fire the librarian and insist that other employees call a supervisor to determine the correct course of action when a patron is downloading kiddie-porn in full view of the public.

Bureaucracy is an asexually reproducing organism. Its primary purpose is to increase its scope and power. There are certainly good people who work in bureaucracies, but anyone who loves bureaucracy itself is an asshole.

  1. Jesus. Assholes, indeed.

    And liberals wonder what’s wrong with our souls.

    By the way, LOVE the “fucking idiots” category. I want that.
