I'd be cautious to champion people of authority who only do "good enough" - that kind of marginalization and acceptance for mediocrity is exactly what got us here in the first place. A good example is America - everyone was high up on Dubya after 9/11, and look at us now...
What can I say -- I reserve the right to be a critic. And even though I've made it sound like I'm a selfish bastard, i'm actually not. The means of obtaining tickets aside (sorry, still haven't been sold on the idea of what is wrong with buying the tickets)... one of my favorite people in the world, one of my heroes, is a Jesuit priest who did 5 years of missionary work in Uganda. And the picture that he can paint for you... fact is, I *really* respect this cause! And I want everything to go right.
