OR KILL ME!! - Principia Discordia

205
The problem here isn't FEMA, and it isn't Bush, and it's not
going to go away. The ridiculous failure of the Katrina relief
effort was caused by the fact that we seem to have reached our
species limit of competence...our "Peter Principle" limit, as it
were. The Machine(tm) has simply gotten so complex that it
can no longer function, except as dictated by inertia...some
governmental processes are so routine that they CAN'T fail,
because nobody has the initiative to royally screw them up.
Fortunately, those processes are rare. Most governmental and
societal functions are now so complicated that they can't EVER
function correctly, and the legal system...well, it makes Kafka
look like a starry-eyed optimist.
Fat City was built like a mansion over the last 220 years, with
comfy living rooms and spacious toilet bowls (to accomodate
our fat asses). Problem is, they built the fourth floor by stealing
two-by-fours from the foundation.
Think of it this way...The Machine is still too big to actually
take down, but it's very size is its greatest weakness. You really
can't FIGHT City Hall, but you CAN crazy glue all the
bathrooms shut. Sneaky acts of sabotage trump righteous
"symbolic acts" every time. The trick is to realize that The
Machine(tm) cannot guard ALL of the two-by-fours...
...And WE, my friends, are the termites.
Or Kill Me.
