And who's going to do the aligning, if not good people?

    They constantly try to escape
    From the darkness outside and within
    By dreaming of systems so perfect
    That no one will need to be good

Is you citation meant to imply that the people who want to improve bureaucracies are motivated by the fact they're evil?

  • We are talking about the people who want and might be able to improve bureaucracies (towards some end). I'm asking you: do you assume they're good people? What happens when they're not?
