Political Academic Cesspool

As for the political cesspool that C. and I call work...I was watching this video today of a professor who just died ('Last lecture' prof taught others how to live) and even though I didn't get to see all of the video, it basically summed up how I feel about work. He said that someone once told him that when someone is screwing up and nobody is criticizing them then that means that they have given up hope. Well, I don't feel like telling people that things are screwed up anymore because I've given up hope that it will change anything.
