Similarities

An old geek joke but still timely...

It occurred to me a while ago that Unix is much like the U.S. Government:

A long time ago, a few brilliant men created a system that empowered its users, gave them freedom, and provided a few essential services.

Now the system's old, slow, easily corrupted, overly restrictive, too large and confusing for anyone to understand, plagued with inconsistencies, and run by men who only care about money.
