From corruption to idealism

Are we born corrupt?

We need look no further than in our very world today; Arab dictators brutally killing their citizens, but their citizens likewise, brutally killing one another – the Christian Copts are being massacred by Islamists in Egypt as an example.

Russia, by no means as evil as it was, is well known to be corrupt.

In fact I think corruption is the norm!

Living in America, we take for granted idealism – right and wrong – but living in third world countries, no one expects right from wrong, they expect corruption.

So the truth of the matter is, that we are both idealists and we are easily corruptible.
