Reply #61: People think it's so easy

If they would do such a swell job, then why aren't they doing it already?

Why aren't they IN those positions, fighting from WITHIN to end corruption?


So people always think they can do someone else's job better. People always think that THEY would be immune from the same type of flaws that cause people to turn, ever so slowly, toward corruption.

All those people protesting on Wall Street and all over the country...they are the cream of the crop. Pure as the driven snow. Honest to a fault.

I say bullshit.

I'll bet that a great many of them are just as dishonest and greedy as the execs on Wall Street are, only they just don't/won't admit it.


That's the trouble with getting rid of one thing in favor of another. You could end up with something better...or you could end up with something way worse than what you originally had. There are no guarantees.

Which isn't to say people shouldn't try. But there's going to be a whole lot of disappointment and disillusionment when people don't get what they want.
