If a junior employee was caught stealing something from the till he would be sacked pronto. Do the crime, do the time as they say. The corruption in these ivory towers of delusion is staggering. I spent twelve months traveling around the beautiful apelike of Indonesia in 1998 and 1999. I saw very little presence of the UN where they might be needed.

The imbalances in the world system are really getting out of control. The stability of the universe is founded on truth and justice. People like Kofi Annan with his incredible hubris spin the world out of it's correct orbit even more. There is a breaking point. These greedy, myopic "leaders" of the world are going to reap what they sow in the not-too-distant future.

As Aesop said...

"We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office."

The spell check jumped, in my anger and haste in posting my comment above, "archipelago" came out as "apelike".

Please note this correction.

I totally agree with you on the jr employee being run out of town. Unfortunately, I would have to use Rush as an example of this - he used to go on and on about drug addiction and use and how abusers should be put in jail. The gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar and asks for forgiveness, albeit given but I will now not listen with such willingness to follow his words so closely.

On Koffee's situation, wouldn't you choose to stay here too?
