[consulting] Unionizing Drupal

[Antonio P. P. Almeida]

To the folks thinking about unions and such a blast from the past to
ponder upon:

       The man of system, on the contrary, is apt to be very wise in
       his own conceit; and is often so enamoured with the supposed
       beauty of his own ideal plan of government, that he cannot
       suffer the smallest deviation from any part of it. He goes on
       to establish it completely and in all its parts, without any
       regard either to the great interests, or to the strong
       prejudices which may oppose it. He seems to imagine that he can
       arrange the different members of a great society with as much
       ease as the hand arranges the different pieces upon a
       chess-board. He does not consider that the pieces upon the
       chess-board have no other principle of motion besides that
       which the hand impresses upon them; but that, in the great
       chess-board of human society, every single piece has a
       principle of motion of its own, altogether different from that
       which the legislature might choose to impress upon it. If those
       two principles coincide and act in the same direction, the game
       of human society will go on easily and harmoniously, and is
       very likely to be happy and successful. If they are opposite or
       different, the game will go on miserably, and the society must
       be at all times in the highest degree of disorder.

       Adam Smith in "The Theory of Moral Sentiments"
