As one fighting corruption, for a decade plus, I've learned certain things about overcoming venality.<p>The bigger the party or the corruption is, the harder it is to hold them or it accountable.<p>So much white collar crime, lives not mattering, and quid pro quo'ing is going on, the masses are numb to it all.<p>Goverment bodies would rather stack a house of untenable cards, a mile high, than admit one clear error.<p>In our eToys case, we have confessions by Goldman Sachs & Bain Capital (secret) lawyers, to deliberate lies under oath. Because the blue wall of silence paradigm also works for lawyers, judges and federal agents/agencies of justice - those parties also desire to be willfully blind - or circle their wagons protective of their own kind.<p>Keeping with such notions, as demonstrated by the recent U.S. POTUS election, the masses can be dupped into cirling the wagons, protective of clear bad faith, on the basis of inference that:<p>"you are not allowed to accuse 'my' desiree of bad faith".<p>All such us a recipe for a very sad state of affairs; which tends to encourage the venal to be more brazen & flagrant.
