Sorcerer's Apprentices

I think I'm turning into a Kim Cameron fanboy. My last post was in response to one of his and I've sent everyone at work links to his identity delegation posts (this "transducer" post is just brilliant).

And here I am quoting him again. This comes from his original comments on British schools fingerprinting their children, but it's a great analogy that fits many situations.

This is one of those cases where ignorance breeds Sorcerer’s Apprentices who act without the slightest knowledge that there will be consequences to what they do.

Something just made me want to cut out and keep this.
