[QUOTE="MacFromOK, post: 3551092, member: 40864"] IMO, y'all have too much faith in humanity as a whole. Good people still exist, but they're becoming fewer and farther between. Most everything troublesome (again, IMO) boils down to greed for money/possessions and power. - The MSM makes money by selling sensationalism, no matter the story. They don't care who gets hurt, 'cause they get paid (and "street cred" in the business) for breaking the story first. Doesn't even have to be a true story. - Politicians almost always sell their ideals to make money and maintain power. If they had any morals to start with, those seem to quickly dissolve in the face of massive amounts of cash offered by various lobbies. The lobby issues involved may or may not affect their district directly, but after a while, even that seems to make little difference. - Criminals are similar to politicians. They want money and power without working for it, they just (mostly, anyway?) have less scruples about murder and mayhem being a result. Politicians would rather tend their constituents like sheep, shearing them often as possible. Sorry if all this sounds too cynical. Not having a great day. :/ :drunk2: [/QUOTE]
