Adhome, cmon was that necessary?
Its safe to say the government has two faces, show me one that doesnt. Since USA was mentioned, the corruption is so bad that even the truth cant be believed anymore.
The difference of east-west is only the matter of degree and blue or white collar crime. US is into giant corruption that comes with central banking and trillion dollar wars, and Asia is into petty blue collar corruption of police and government clerks and building standards and street stuff and payoffs and bribes in neighborhood projects.
But that doesnt mean within those stews that progress isnt still made--it is. Malaysia's massive corruption didnt stop it from building the worlds tallest building or advancing exports or making advances in cancer care. The two faces run in tandom and you guys are arguing crap at cross purposes.
