Bureaucracy, What It Is And Why I hate It

“Bureaucracy” is a word that comes from the French, which I suppose means that moi has a greater understanding of it than most folks who have never lived in France. Literally, “bureau” means “desk.” So “bureaucracy” is “rule by desk” in the same way that “democracy” is supposed to be “rule by the people” since “demos” in Greek is “people.” Problems already. There is considerable debate possible about how much representative government can even be a democracy. I mean, do so-called “Public Servants” vote for what their constituencies want, or for what they really believe? Desks have no soul.

Pets Are Okay, But I Love Humans

Animal mummies from ancient Egypt are featured on banners flying from poles here in middle-to-upper class southern Califo ia and I realized something significant but not earth-shaking. I didn’t care.

I knew back then that some people mummified pets, and that was fine, but I didn’t want to model little dogs or cats, just humans.

Perhaps I should be a little more cautious. Even though I could not get to the original research paper, this article tells it right up front: “People with high levels of cynical distrust may be more likely to develop dementia.”
