Subject: RE: BS: USA Corruption - How Much More?
People need to do a better job of defining terms.
"Corruption, when applied to officers, trustees, etc., signifies the inducing a violation of duty by means of pecuniary considerations. --Abbott.
" Lack of integrity or honesty (especially susceptibility to bribery); use of a position of trust for dishonest gain."
What is described here is criminal behavior, lying, cheating, crime, etc. It is not classic corruption.
