Why do we expect people to behave in a sensible manner when we know it's an entirely unreasonable assumption that they will do so? Hope springs eternal, I suppose, but it's always likely to be disappointed. On the other hand, if we assume the worst and things turn out to be not quite so bad as they might well have been, then life seems distinctly sunnier.
With that in mind, I have decided to maintain low expectations for the foreseeable future.
