I had to do some research first as the original quote is in French. And most translation engines refered me to the word 'idiot'. Yet I was looking for something stronger.

Original quote:

"Il y a plus de gens biens que de cons. Mais les cons sont mieux organisés."
in "Les cathédrales du vide" by Henri Loevenbruck (no English edition as far as I know).

Try this one:

There are more good people than jerks; but, the jerks [4.b.] are better organized.

If you substitute "MBA" for "jerk," tw can participate.
