#1 Well, there is always that 'riseing expectations' thing. But lets face it. The culture of corruption is a human as animal condition. How wonderful to be in a culture decended from Angloes.

#2 "How wonderful to be in a culture decended from Angloes."

----------------------

Sure enough, Boss Tweed, the Teapot Dome, Chicago's Mayor Daley, Johns-Manville, the S&L debacle, Enron, Dynegy, Global Crossing, Arthur Andersen and WorldCom were all minor flukes.

Halliburton-KBR, with their ex-Arthur Andersen manager and current CEO, David Lesar, incurring massive overcharges in Iraq and subsequent liquidity warnings if forced to promptly repay their looting of federal contracts have nothing to do with "Anglo" style corruption.

And if you believe all this in addition to the possibility that, without being forced to do so, China will one day become a fair trading partner, I've got a bridge you might be interested in.

#3 Don't forget the biggest example of corruption in history: the Democratic Party!

#5 Ooh, more name calling. Personalities are such a persuasive and well acknowledged forensic technique. At least someone here has their screen name right.
