But having corporations act selfishly in their own interest does not help the big picture. Ever see the documentary “The Corporation”?

Or maybe I’m just too much of an idealist. Because all this bad news must stop somewhere….. or must we wait for our own Evo Morales?

But businesspeople have to survive and they do what’s practical. Addressing the larger issues like corruption is a state job. It needs political will and leadership to get that juggernaut moving.

While it is fine to adopt an “everybody’s responsible for stamping out corruption” attitude, make no bones about it: solving corruption is a political task and that is what politicians are, theoratically at least, for.

It does not address the corruptibility of the police or the courts, but then again, it is not your friend’s job to fix our mounting problems. However, it does perpetuate corruption within the force, as his information gives the police the targets for a “shakedown”.

Doesn’t anyone (in government) see this as a negative for getting new investment?
