Lying, cheating, and yes, stealing have become the rule of the day for those in power.
From our 'free' press who give every comment equal weight, obscure commentary from actual news, and give credence to criminals from former administrations-labeling them as experts, to our University administrators who hide child molesters, to our financial institutions who skew their balance sheets to hide their true worth-No One is Being Held Accountable!!
We have lost trust, lost confidence, in the very institutions that are necessary for a functioning society. Our government, our education system, our economy, our press, our police departments, our very society is broken.
Too big to fail is the common outcry. We are missing the point-these institutions have already failed. We just aren't willing to bury them. We aren't willing to prosecute the crimes, call out the lies, and demand accountability.
I'm old enough to remember a press that actually presented the news in a fairly balanced way, a government that got things done ( maybe not always to my liking) for what was considered the betterment of the country, schools that cared about and educated students, and banks that actually had a relationship with their customers(I actually worked at one of those banks), and a police department that I felt was there for me and my family if we needed help.
Not anymore... I don't have the answers here but I felt the need to rant. Thanks for listening...
