No "not"

Why is it that when you tell someone they shouldn't do something, they get the urge to do it. The more you tell them not to do it, the stronger the urge to do it becomes. Is it rebellion or is it just the way we are made. I saw a "Do not Enter" sign and everyone that looked at it, looked like they wanted to go in just because. I caught people poking their noses in there, probably because it said not to enter. Why do we always want to disobey the rules? Personally I think our brains cannot process negativity properly, so we do the opposite by negating the negative in the statement. So Do not enter registers as Do enter.

BureaucraPs

Bureaucrats and politicians are useless and I don't know why we persist in electing career politicians. Let me get straight to the point. In the country formally known as Burma, there was recently a cyclone. The country was devastated, so as usual other countries offered aid. Like an idiot, the president refuses the aid. Of course his only reason is because he doesn't want it to look like the government can not support the people. To save face. The most ridiculous explanation ever giving for forcing people to suffer and die. By the way that country is one of the poorest known countries on the planet. The funny thing is, many government officials have used this excuse to be lazy for centuries. What never made sense to me is why we persist in electing these buffoons?
