My wife and I discuss this sort of thing quite frequently. I believe that basically most people are good and genuinely try to do the right thing as they see it. She says that I am naive. From the vitriol being displayed in the political realm recently she seems to be winning the debate.
I am hard pressed to try and explain the amount of corruption found in our leaders both private and public. It's almost as if most corporate and political leaders whose affairs are looked into will uncover unethical if not illegal activity. I wonder if this isn't the real natural order of things.
