A Partial Recovery From Decay?

[HARDCORE]

No matter how hard most people try to leave this nation a little better off for their having been here, there are still those (many of whom are highly placed) who yet strive to take advantage of the weak, the trusting, the giving, and the controlled! Worse yet, a growing multitude, even here within the United States, are still quite willing and even eager to join with those so inclined and so empowered!

This unfortunate national trend is not limited to outright crime, however, by a long shot! Big business, certain corrupt politicians, a few within the media, and even segments of the religious community have been caught of late in acts of greed and lust that may have indeed been with us all along?

The visibility of such decay, however, has just recently had the spotlight of truth, information, and even a modicum or moral outrage, shinned into its odious face. And those who were gleefully engaged in these deceptions not only see no wrong in their actions, but indeed, now even take exception to those with that audacity to see them and expose them for what they really are - cads and users!

?Maybe there is hope for us after all!?
