Adaptive values Selaginellaceae, administrators

[Daniel Janzen]

Aw, lets be a bit gentler on the politicians and the administrators.  For
every bad one, there are many dozens who have spent their lives creating,
cajoling, maintaining, a social structure in which, at least, we can
clamber around doing our thing.  The bad/good ratio is probably not any
different among "them" than among "us scientists".    As in any area,
despite our problems with a specific case, we probably achieve more faster
by positive reinforcement to the good ones than grumping about the bad
ones.  Me thinks.
