There are people along history (and I mean specifically civil servants, like Thomas More -the first that comes to my mind but by no means the only one-) who have even given his life because they did not want to comply with 'the law'... This 'complying with the law' is fedding me up.

Someone has already noticed that bankers did also act 'with the law on their part'...

And all the rating agencies, they suddendly 'just offer counsel and advice', they are in no way suggesting that a product is fit for buying or selling...

Is there a conscience out there?




In our opinion not, but the rules are that only money decides the rules.

And the rules are that other people are always to blame and that the law, no matter how corrupt, is the law.

The problem is that especially these people (civil cervants) are chosen on this fallacy, are only loyal to their families and peers, all others don't exsists or are there to pull a leg out.

There is a huge Us vs. Them attitude amongst most people (not all, gladly) serving any government.
