You ever had a Planning meeting to discuss the creation of a Planning Committee?

"It seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganized... I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization (Petronius Arbiter, 210 B.C.; Hardcastle, 2004)."

And time marches on... One organization falls to the reality of Indian Crabs, a new organization blooms because of hard working elders and optimistic youngers. The new organization, and its board members work around the rules in order to get things done more efficiently and in a culturally correct way. A new generation comes into the picture, and new laws are formed.

Power changes hands, white tape is more strictly followed... More new people get involved (ndn crabs), and these new people maliciously or stupidly bring down the organization they work for because they use the white tape to discover loopholes to take full control of the organization and then drive it into the ground.

Ba-doom-boom!

And then there will be a meeting of the elders who were youngers back when the ________ program used to be "run right." These new elders discuss what has to be done to create a new program that will be run in a more culturally correct way... They enlist the help of new youngers, and time marches on...
