Don't you think that our freedoms have been compromised enough already? A play on words, but still, incorrect usage of the word is what led to this problem.

How much worse do you want things to get?
I understand what you are saying but I just think that's an excuse to not do anything and accept what is happening.

I didn't way I wanted things to get worse, just that they need to. If, tomorrow, all corruption were wiped from the political sphere, we would not fully appreciate how terrible that corrupting influence or how it negatively affects not only our freedoms but simple routines that we take for granted.
I want things to get better, but I understand that they need to get much worse before they will get better. I'm willing to ride out that storm in order to see the sun poking through the clouds afterwards. I don't believe there is an easy fix, and to want one is to not understand or value the fixed-state enough.
