- Bureaucracy thrives on fools errands. What better occupation than
- fighting crime, poverty, ignorance, and sin? If one is permitted to
- define what they are, then one is guaranteed a living. If one is
- in danger of succeeding, one can simply raise the bar.
-
- If one makes one's living by reading other people's mail and one is in a
- position to outlaw strong envelopes, then one is in a no loose position.
