Re: Living on the Planet (none / 0)
Need to emphasis the word "could" in there.

Bureaucracy is a human invention to prevent change.  Eventually the change is prevented to ludicrous lengths.   The infamous "tally sticks" depository of the British Exchequer is the poster child.  They kept making and storing the things for hundreds of years passed any conceivable use.

And when they did, finally, get rid of the things in 1834 ... they burned the Parliament building down.
