None at all Chet, unless you are a conservative stock holder.

Unfortunately there will always be people willing to serve a cause if it leads to their own agrandisement, because thats what they are told to do, or because they are told that it is in (insert country)'s best interest. What makes it doubly dfficult to counteract is that these people are not monsters, just the guy next door. If you want to eradicate a race of "sub humans", you don't need psycopaths, just efficient civil servants.

As to why "the way things are" is not more widely discussed or challenged I recommend a look at Noam Chomsky's Propoganda model.
