It's not funny, but when I heard you talking about the Sec of State running Microsoft, I had to laugh. My mother was an investigator for the state. She worked in the same open office as the Sec. of State and the state unemployment offices Everyday, there were people crying, shouting, and threatening retribution. People were given extensions on their benefits, and then being told they had to pay them back, without notice. A guard was killed when a crowd waiting outside the door pushed him through a glass door, where he then died of a heart attack. Every once in a while the workers would see someone pickling through the trash cans, and realize they had received another bomb threat. Other times, windows were broken as people left the building. During her almost 30 years on the job, Mom's biggest case was against an old man who was manager at the unemployment office where she worked. He was No 2 in the state for tenure. As she found out, he was taking payment seals out of the office, as well as blank checks, hiring relatives without even a civil service exam, paying his pregnant daughter to stay and home while punching her in and out of work. If forced to hire someone with experience off the state register, and he had earmarked that job for a friend or relative, he would steal their paychecks and put nasty notes in their unemployment file. This had been going on for decades, before he was finally caught. There was no way that he could have done these type of crimes if he had been working for Microsoft. In the words of George Washington, "Occupants of public offices love power and are prone to abuse it."
