it is what it is because the will of the people allow it.
Way too much NIMBY (not in my backyard).
Way too much lethargy when it comes to demanding right and wrong be dealt with.

I remember a few years back when taking a local citizens community course we were being addressed by the chief of police. He said emphatically that criminals just simply had no fear of the law. So why is it we are surprised when those either trained in the law (most of our government representatives) or those wealthy enough to "buy" the law have such a high incidence of breaking the law....usually with no reprecussions. Their behavior suggests they are above the law of the land. It is proven every day.

It is not the capitalism tha is broken. Capitalism is what made this country great and will again when the corruption is in fact penalized. First the silent majority needs to come out from hiding.
