An Evil Trend (chris: When first learning about OOP in high...)

chris:

When first learning about OOP in high school I thought that classes would actually model the world. I believed that there would be some CPAN-like central repository of code that had classes abstracting reality, but always growing closer to a single, realistic end. Some introductory books pose it in a way that hints at this ability.

But they do! Everyone knows about the government class:
```
class Government:
    def do_nothing():
        pass

    def fuck_up():
        fix_election("bush", 2000)
        begin_war("iraq")
        get_reelected()
```
