Thread Name: BS: USA Corruption - How Much More?
Subject: RE: BS: USA Corruption - How Much More?
I'd put my faith in Obama and his folks over...
...Bush and his...
I've seen change in my life... I saw a grumpy guy from Texas make it into the White House and shake things up... No, not Bush but LBJ...
I saw a peanut farmer from Georgia come to Washington, buck the establishment which probably cost him re-election, who put the concept of "human right" on the internataional map...
Things happen when they are 'sposed to... People come to the forfront whan it's time...
I believe (heck, I have to, ain't too many more chances in my life) that the US is about to undergo yet another major change for good...
The stuff that we have seen over the last 30 years has not worked too well... We have become terrorists... We have become torturers... We have become a Me-and-My society and it hasn't produced a better life for US... It has created a deterioration of values, of life quality and our collective spirit...
Five years ago the average American would watch a TV show about rich people... Today??? I don't think so... Being rich isn't the "in thing"... That's a good grist step...
Corruption, be it Halliburton or an Illinois Governor, ain't the "in thing" either...
People have circled the wagons and want more transparancy, more fairness and more honesty and I kinda think of this as stars aligning in that we have the right president and right culture...
I think that in 4 years we won't be talking about corruption...
(But, Boberdz... Corruption has always been with US...)
Granted... It has... And it will always be with US... I think the difference is that we will not being saying "Everyone does it" in 4 years... That is a big difference...
