Don't confuse meritocracy with mediocracy
Don't confuse meritocracy with mediocracy (not mediocrity?). Well apparently there is such a word, and as defined shockingly.
More often than not, we can get confused. The above definition seems to link "cracy" with organisations such as governments with mediocre management. Sometimes this can be led by leadership, and sometimes by force.Well, mediocracy is often dedicated to self-interest within groups or individuals with the tendencies to destroy others around them, either peers or colleagues to gain relative advantage.
So don't get confused by the 2 terms as we were clearly brought up in a society where we believe in meritocracy and we work hard for our money and succeed in life based on merits.
Just that I wonder how some "higher powers" are often able to get away with meritocracy with mediocracy. And very often the discussions would ends with "It's an honest mistake, let's move on."

....such concerns are unlikely to dampen desire among drugmakers to define, and then seek to treat, low female libido.
Besides Germany's Boehringer's big hope flibanserin -- which in a six-month trial increased the number of satisfying sexual events to an average 4.5 per month from 2.8 in American women, compared with an average of 3.7 for those taking placebo -- there are trials looking at the effects of a testosterone skin gel Libigel, from U.S. drug firm BioSante, on women's desire. Procter & Gamble's Intrinsa testosterone patches are already licensed for female sexual dysfunction in Europe

You can't be too safe
Being cautious and wanting to be safe probably lengthen your existence. But the meaning of existence is to live your life. Carpe Diem!
Courage is what preserves our liberty, safety, life, and our homes and parents, our country and children. Courage comprises all things. ~Plautus
Courage, my friends; 'tis not too late to build a better world. ~Tommy DouglasWould you stand up for change?
