Reply #72: I believe the problem lies in the human capacity to justify and [View All]

rationalize things. I as a Christian, know that JC teaches about not accumulating wealth. How do Christians justify this, "Well everyone else is doing it!". This is our problem. We can justify and rationalize anything we want to (maybe not honestly and realistically), because everybody else is doing it.

I am going to cite the "Many are called, but few are chosen", to this mentality. We as a country, adore wealth, without understanding the methods of obtaining this wealth (Du maybe an exception to this rule, but look at percentages).

America is socialized to obtain wealth, power and standing come from this wealth. We have not exploited the situations that promote this wealth accumulation, (I am guilty of not reporting crimes to company officials, however, I had no mechanism to report such problems, no access to higher ups or indications they would care).

The internet will allow this information to flow freely. If I was a corp. exec., I would hire every whistle blower known to man, because, truthful accounting of the corp. position would be important to me. If that happened, I might actually be able to make good decisions.

I was put in a bad position, not a witness of fraud, but a victim as well as the exec's to fraud.
