If you come here and you're secretly gay but don't know it yet, then after half a year you will be openly gay.

1.how an entire organization can rise up to help a boss justify some deal he’s inclined to do, regardless of its merit
2. any company’s inherent propensity to do dumb things (or avoid doing smart things) simply for the sake of doing them.

1. The stock market collapse was encourage by many respected investors by participating in the overarching fininacial industry institutional imperative of rolling over debt and reselling them as investments.
2. Warren Buffett in discusing the motivation of bankers and institutional leadership in a 1989 letter. Believes that Institutions are built to appease the wishes of a few in leadership positions, to the point that employees are convinced that they are justified in all of their actions regardless of the effect. Specifically in addressing the needs and motivation of bankers, who will encourage any deal regardless of merit.
2. “Don’t ask the barber whether you need a haircut.”"It was his thinly veiled dig at Wall Street bankers and the perverse incentive system for corporate “advice” on mergers and acquisitions — namely that bankers are paid only if a deal is completed. (Bankers typically earn nothing if a deal is abandoned or collapses, giving them little reason to recommend against pursuing a transaction.)"

How ever much money, time & training, large government departments and publicly run local bodies etc cannot get anything right.
For two weeks bad weather is forecast, 4 inches of snow falls, the country is ground to a halt, closed airports, railways, roads & schools, caused by institutional incompetence.

A mostly art-based school in Brooklyn, NY. Other majors include architecture, writing, and something involving construction. "Critical Visual Studies" is also offered, but noone at Pratt knows wtf that is.
Student population is approximately
75% self-made contradictory art stereotypes
10% rich lazy kids who wanted their parents to pay for them to go a school where they don't have to take 'hard' classes (but then get upset when they realize they get just as much work from studio classes) )art therapy, critical and visual studies majors, etc)
10% serious genuine human beings who want to get a degree in something they love (fashion, interior design, architecture, comd majors, etc)
5% Guys who wear very tight pants

I go to Pratt Institute. It's expensive and alot of the students are ridiculous, but it's a good school for someone who wants an honest degree in art.

Acts of evil often done among an organization, done with little or no sympathy and a lack of humanity due to its repeated process, like a system, or a daily job.
The ISIS organization executes men, women and children on a daily basis. Execution of humans has become so systematic, it is no different than a daily routine. What they do is considered Institutional Evil.

A conservative think tank in Salt Lake City dedicated to adding value to Utah by promoting Full Quiver Theology (FQT).
FQT encourages heterosexual parents to fill their quivers with many children. A standard quiver holds six children, but a seventh child can inserted if the other six are packed efficiently. A modular TurboQuiver allows parents to expand standard quivers to hold even larger numbers of children.
FQT envisions men building their own homes instead of relying on licensed contractors or renting facilities from others, especially homos.
FQT celebrates men, possessors of the fundamental unit of society, being married to women and vice versa.
Cities are envisioned to be nurturers of natural families. Unnatural, synthetic and artificial families (ie homos) will be resettled in the unincorporated county.
Large families are prefered, but since family size depends on age of the female, allowances are made for young homemakers. Schedule (FQT-1040EZ) outlines the acceptable child-bearing schedule and is available at the Institute's website.
Protection of the natural family is the first responsibility of local government. If, after protecting natural families, resources are left over and if government has the time and inclination, unnatural families may also receive protection, but this is optional.
