So powerfully expressed, Robert. Such an important commentary and such an urgent need to call out the blatant corruption that is now corroding the soul of a once-great nation. Thank you for this brilliant essay.
"When and how will it stop?" Having acknowledged that corruption has been part of the human condition ever since the moment that one or more individuals coveted something that another had which probably means ever since we stopped walking on our knuckles, it is clear that it will only cease to exist when absolutely no one has the power to bestow boons and there is nothing left to covet or just nothing left period. The old Johnny Mathis song title " The Twelfth of Never" comes to mind.
