9. I guess we disagree since our perspectives and experiences are very different.

I'm trying to tell you that this is far more complicated than a morality test in CCD. Yes, it would be nice if people stuck to what we learned as kids as to what is right and what is wrong. But that's not what we are dealing with.

It's not just government officials being bribed, it's local governments bribing select members of their own communities in order to induce them to support government projects. These are not just ordinary citizens they're seeking. They pick the chronic complainers, the most ruthless and the most unethical. At one point, they may have even started out as community activists. Instead of fighting against them, the government pulls them over to their side by abusing their own authority and allowing these citizens unprecedented decision-making powers.

Once people recognize them as a key person in community--which is to say, that people recognize that they are bulletproof when it comes to prosecution--they slowly corrupt whoever needs to be corrupted in order to quiet dissent. And this corruption is easy to do once a government crosses that line because people will do anything that they see someone else get away with.

If you want to understand why our society is in such a state of disintegration, start with the fact that local governments are no longer paying attention to the Fourteenth Amendment.
