Most of your managers, leaders, judges, police are complete and utter idiots. This is a fact of today's society. it rewards the feeble minded that can talk others into giving them power.
the sooner you realize that the world is not run by the geniuses and smart people but by the idiots and morons, the sooner you understand how silly crap like this happens.
