    I remember when I was a child and still believed that people in positions of such authority must have earned the right to occupy it through merit and/or intelligence

      Ah, remember the vague and comforting notion that someone in power must be looking out for you on some level, because it's the right thing to do, and they wouldn't be in charge if they weren't right?

      Hey, you were a child, just think of all the liberal adults who somehow simultaneously believe that we live in a meritocracy and that 50% of the people in power are completely incompetent.
