Humans are too lazy (rant)

General
Today I had a situation where it made me realize just how bad humans can be. This isnt even about murder or politics, but our own inability, our lack of will, willingness to change/improve. At work, i was brought over to the main branch building of my workplace to fix one of the machines that i assemble. Upon arriving, I examined the machine and found out that yet another part of it was broken, but it was due to someone using force. For those who know, im talking about when a drawer has a slider on both ends, and this slider that we use here has a tendency to lock itself or go unhinge, but its all on the person handling it. Ive had enough experience with these sliders to figure out what the problem is and how to solve it. Ive been called to go over to this building many times over the course of my year contract, and i have eventually told these people that if there is a problem with it: its best to let me handle it and not force it by yourself. In thia case, not ONLY did someone force it, but the person in charge of the station wouldnt fess up who did it. I only want to find out who did to tell them not to do it again as well as to let me handle it. During our conversation of whodunnit and how to resolve this, he would even say that I, of all people, could have cause this problem to happen. I know for sure I cant be the one and I even proved it to him, but when he said it, it was like this. "Maybe you did it?" And even said this, "They all blame you on this." Who is this 'they', who is blaming me for something I didn't do (which over the course of my life, this has happened a myriad amount of times). On top of this, when I told an acquantance/friend about this right after I was done fixing the problem. He told me to 'not worry over it and let it be'. Why should I let someone's misconceptiok of me be? Why should I let things slide (no pun intended) when things could be avoided, things could be improved? Why should I just shrug whenever someone gives me shit that isnt needed? All of these questions and more came to my mind and eventually I would walk away more angry than before. Why are people unwilling to change. Why are people unwilling to talk things through? I eventually began to think that this is just how we are as humans. Humans being so flawed that we deny our mistakes and blame it on others, deny what is in front of our faces so that we can just relax and live a lighter, more 'free' life. These thoughts eventually became what I want to ask you now.
Do you think we should have something like a machine to work for us, maybe even to govern over us? Are we too flawed as sentient beings that we need to rely on something more absolute to really make things right? Can we really change or do we just make excuses? Im sorry that this is awfully negative, but i'm someone who bears as much as I can take and I am beginning to hate humans as a whole..

It may also be an exaggeration when he said "they" it may very well have only been one other person who said anything and you asking to confront made him backpedal?
1) FIND NEW JOB, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE NEW JOB. TELL THEM IT ISN'T YOUR PROBLEM ANYMORE. WHEN THEY SAY, "NO. IT IS YOUR PROBLEM." SAY "NOPE. IT ISN'T MY PROBLEM. IT'S YOUR PROBLEM. II QUIT."
OR
2) MAKE UP A LEGALIZED TERMS OF SERVICE CONTRACT. TERMS BASICALLY SAY: "IF BLAME IS PINNED ON ME FOR DAMAGES OF WHICH I CAN PROVE I DID NOT CAUSE, THIS CONTRACT FOR HIRE IS THUS TERMINATED. FIND A NEW SERVICE TECH."
that'll teach 'em.
fr reasons why a computer, a machine, should not control our lives: watch I, Robot, or Transformers Rescue Bots: Season 2: Episode 14: A Vigilant Town. Hell, try Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines!
