Brian, historians Will and Ariel
Durant observed in their classic The Lessons of History that when law
and order break down we see people turn to religion and ethics as a way to
"push back" against abuse. This describes exactly the situation in
America. The governmental system, which orchestrates the legal system, works
for the vampires on Wall Street. As a result, we expect ethics to push back
against abuse. I am not optimistic about the power of ethics to
"right" the ship alone. In the end, raw power, government, must come
into play - or we live in a dream world.
