Hanlon's razor is my favorite of all razors, and is the principle that keeps me calm in moments like this: >Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. I don't think that the (mostly lawyers) who represent us and run this country are malicious. They're just incompetent. They're simply not qualified to understand and make decions in the fields that they affect. So they call in 'experts' to help , who end up working for or being otherwise paid by a particular group or corporation. Of course these people are paid to bias their groups preference, so the 'expert' advise they give them is tainted, and the representative has no basis to detect the bullshit.
