Emotional infants will always be in control.
You see it in prison, where inmates who are trying to do their own time and take advantage of programs for training or development are thwarted by jerks who stir up shit and watch things spin out of control.

You see it in politics, where elected officials who are trying to build consensus and work out policies based on best practices to help people's lives and livelihoods are stymied by intransigent assholes who want only political gain.

And now you've seen it with this attention-whore preacher in Florida who poked the other emotional infants with a stick, brought the media to his party and is now playing on the world stage.

Where are the leaders with "vision logic," who can and will explain to the world these actions and their consequences?

They know it works too.

3. Right - How could I forget workplace drama?
Everybody claims to want a gossip- and drama-free workplace, but lots of people thrive on it.
