You wrote, "If a bank, media group, or state, currently acts as bad or worse, than what was called organized crime, what should we call them?" How about "Our Elected Representatives?" Too long? Hmm?

Wow! You keep on hitting them out of ...Hello Mike,<br /><br />Wow! You keep on hitting them out of the ballpark.<br /><br /> It seems that most modern countries have a tremendous number of laws. Why do you think this happens? My belief is that politicians want to appear to have the power to do something, even if their power is generally in reality, very little. Another reason, is for selective enforcement. Since everyone in a law-and-statute-book-ridden country are guilty of something, it makes it quite easy to prosecute, and persecute for that matter, somebody that one doesn't like. <br /><br />Your friend's comment about banks and organized crime rings many alarm bells. The situation I've noticed in succeeding years is that it is becoming more and more difficult to tell legitimate organizations from criminal ones. <br /><br />An act which used to be viewed as rather unseemly, gambling,which was heavily prosecuted BTW, is now in one form or another viewed as benign,and is in virtually every industrialized nation. It seems almost every devastated city in the US wishes to build a casino to “bring jobs”, and almost every state has a lottery of some sort. The irony of the situation, is that organized crime was better at running gambling, and the gambler was more likely to actually win.<br /><br />Another is high interest, which used to be called usury. After the high inflation rates in the 1970-1980s, most of the rules and guidelines around interest disappeared. The prime rate in the US & Japan is less than 1% currently, yet there are many places that charge an interest rate above 100%. Yet organized crime was prosecuted when the prime rate was 3-6% and their interest rate was 20%. <br /><br />The final act is sex. It seems rather bizarre, how hyper-sexualized most industrialized countries are in the media, yet individuals seem to be having less and less sex, and unsurprisingly, fewer and fewer offspring. <br />It also seems rather bizarre how, formally prosecuted, and currently stigmatized most performers and producers seem to be, yet the lion's share of profits go to major media corporations. <br /><br />What was previously viewed as either illegal, immoral, or at least unseemly, have now become rather accepted. If a bank, media group, or state, currently acts as bad or worse, than what was called organized crime, what should we call them?Mr. Nobodynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207076947655236975.post-73614151328632426352012-03-08T13:17:46.043+09:002012-03-08T13:17:46.043+09:00LOL!
