Hanlon’s Razor is dead...

...and the government killed it.

Hanlon’s Razor is an adage that states “never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity,” and I’ve long been a believer in it.  I’m starting to question why though.  Do I believe it because deep down I think most people are good?  This would make sense since the general “goodness” of people would mean that when things go wrong it’s unintentional.  Sure, there are bad people, and so corruption exists but if it looks like it could be a mistake it probably is.  I am, however, beginning to doubt my faith in the “goodness” of my fellow citizens.  Perhaps not all of them but certain groups.  Unsurprisingly, the group I’m most concerned with is the government.
