"A foolish consistentcy is the hobgoblin of a small mind." I think about that quote everytime I suffer through or see some piece of stupidity by a beaurucrat so devoted to the "rules are rules" mindset that he or she cannot fathom that they are doing something completely unjustifiable.

"All the extravagance and incompetence of our present Government is due, in the main, to lawyers, and, in part at least, to good ones.
They are responsible for nine-tenths of the useless and vicious laws that now clutter the statute-books, and for all the evils that go with the vain attempt to enforce them. Every Federal judge is a lawyer.
So are most Congressmen. Every invasion of the plain rights of the citizens has a lawyer behind it. If all lawyers were hanged tomorrow, and their bones sold to a mah jong factory, we'd be freer and safer, and our taxes would be reduced by almost a half."
