Dear Whomsoever:
Very often, the perceived gods of business and politics demand a sacrifice. It is usually a Human sacrifice (either literally, or in terms of his/her reputation or career), and of course, the sacrifice must be as free of sin as possible (kind of like that Issac fellow, from the Old Testament) so that sinners who sacrifice him/her can get back into the good graces of the gods. Also, it's always best, in selfishly considering one's own well-being, to satisfy the hunger of the beast by feeding someone else to him.
Put in simple terms: "The gods of politics and business frequently require a Human sacrifice. The individual selected for this honor cannot be burned at an altar -- the more humane and politically acceptable way of sacrifice is performed by throwing the offered Person under a bus while he or she is still alive, hyperventilating and bewildered." --Douglas Castle
Not to appear to be questioning of customs, policies, the status quo or persons in positions of authority, but I cannot help but wonder whether these sacrifices truly appease the gods, or whether they merely act as a diversion so that the evildoers can continue to do their evil without the villagers asking any further questions. Heck. It's all so confusing.
Faithfully,
