While browsing through my archives the other day, looking for something else, I ran across this toon I did 11 years ago. “Hey,” I thought. “This is as provocative and true as it ever was. It needs to be resurrected. I’ll post this on my blog and share it with the two or three people who come there regularly for sage insights.” In an era where everyone is enslaved by these artificial constructs we call organizations, governments, schools, churches, businesses, corporations and clubs — we need to remind ourselves that they exist to serve individuals, not the other way around. They are there simply to help people pool their efforts toward a given objective. Whenever an organization starts accreting its own power (or whenever a few are using the organization as a tool to control the many), it’s time to take it back, reform it, reinvent it or dispose of it. – Monte Wolverton
