Default Re: OT- Argentina, what a country!

Yeah,

Don't think me too much a sucker, but I firmly believe that (nearly) everyone has a concience. Oh sure, they milk a little, they skim a bit, and pretty soon they skim a lot without really considering the consequences. I could see myself slipping down that slippery slope pretty easily anyway (the "hey, it's just money, it's not like I killed anybody" argument).

And then <blam!> all the cheating of the economy catches up with them! (and unfortunately, it catches up with Argentina) Now if they have any inkling of a concience left, it's time to resign, and admit wrong-doing.

I guess it's pretty unreasonable to cut these scum-bags any moral slack - though powerful people caught in immoral places have fessed up and apologized before.
