    Ah of course. Here I was viewing a large organisation of people forming a state apparatus as a complex machine with many different moving parts working in relation to the world around it and the circumstances surrounding it. All along I should have considered that if Bad Person in charge then it's bad and if Good person in charge it's good.

      Picking through my copies of the first four Harry Potter books and reading about a whole lot of child murder, prior to the Dolores Umbridge character's introduction.

      Gotta wonder if anyone was fired after a school girl was literally murdered in a bathroom stale. Or, at the least, fired when her ghost continued to haunt the drain pipes rather than being exorcised and put to rest.
