Indeed. The Germans had it so institutionalised they used to be able to declare bribes as a tax deduction (not any more). Let's not even talk about the arms industry. And the previously colonised nations such as the US and Canada don't escape scott-free here, although I have to say the American governments policies are incredibly strict and difficult to circumvent (excellent) - in fact, it looks like thanks to the Guptas having used gmail for a lot of their nefarious e-mails they're now in really hot water with the FBI (rubs hands in glee). Canada is no boy scout either - my home province of Quebec has been cleaning out some ginormous rot (google the Charbonneau Commission if you want a view on insitutionalised corruption) for years now. Ugh. Greed and power, two vrotten bedfellows.

I tell you. It is just who we are. But we love to point accusing fingers like the British Prime minister.

It's human nature to want to take resources from "them", whoever "they" are. So it's important to politicians to define an enemy. The rest of us are guilty of it too. At some stage we always choose a "they" to point fingers at. Right now mine are pointed at politicians in general....
