Managers

After listening to the history of the Pakistan-India partition, (done, in a hurry, by an apparently ignorant and uncaring officer), Cow reflects on our world, run by managers.

Prez Bush, who knew about the mortgage defaults years ago but allowed it to continue; German officers who carpet-bombed Rotterdam despite an agreement not to bomb civilian targets; Bernie Maddox, "managing" people's money in the oldest of frauds, a Ponzi scheme; the SEC, its highly-paid managers apparently playing darts in a pub as billions were ripped off.

All across the board--through ancient times and the present, the military, politicians, government, private companies--managers run things. People have an implicit belief that those in authority know what they are doing. That because they are highly paid, and hold high positions, they deserve them.

Cow lets a bitter "ha!" escape under her breath.

Moo!
