From the macro view. Obviously, someone in an actual war might see things differently.

We need a scale to measure the degree of corruption in governments and in business. It's all, "what can we get away with?" Can humans really govern ourselves at all when such corruption is in place? It destroys hope, and therefore aspirations.

The willingness of some people to engage in such activities, everywhere, robs the rest of us who'd like to see change. @scottadamss "If they know they won't get caught, SOMEBODY's gonna do it."

How does this get solved? It doesn't. Fascism doesn't work. Socialism doesn't work. Communism doesn't "work." 😄 What's next, knowing the road to hell is good paved with good intentions?
