Perfect quote

I read this quote today. It was in a small news reply about managers, politics and more wannabees.

"To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
To summarize the summary: anyone capable of getting themselves made President should by no means be allowed to do the job.
To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem."

It is by Douglas Adams... ofcourse....

People who do know a great deal about it, do not fear the technology but the people around it. And not the technicians but the politicians... who do not know a thing about technology.
And actually.... I think they are right... Politicians should be feared.
Maybe I have been working on this technocracy thing too long...
Power is a nice thing.... but not combined with people...
