Greed and self-service

[Vanillas]

Thank You for this thread. I hope it stirs forum members to hold forth on this, a refreshingly serious topic. But, if not, don't take it personally. After all, you are up against very formidable competition, what with the likes of masturbation fantasies and ball-split panties, not to mention that perennial favorite the inflatable butt plug. But I digress........

I live in the U.S. and no doubt you are aware that we have a very similar situation here. I don't have an answer except perhaps to ask Where is Robespierre when you really need him. As I write this, the specter of a former U.S. President and/or Vice President being indicted for war crimes is beginning to look like a distinct possibility. And yet if they are and even if they are found guilty, So what? I just can't see them being extradited or, if prosecuted in this country, receiving prison sentences. I share your frustration with the Law's inequity. Why is it that a man who robs a convenience store is salted away for ten years yet people who are responsible for the wholesale loss of other peoples' pension funds are given bonuses? The short and easy answer is to say that it is the way of the world and always has been. But sometimes short and easy answers are true.
