Reply #19: Maybe you misunderstood...

Hack89,

Maybe you misunderstood what I was getting at. I was basically agreeing with you that the average person is a caring and moral person. I was saying that people are not sheep. But I was also indicating that sometimes good people are mislead by people who have been corrupted. I assume you do not suppose that everyone is good. For example the WorldCom execs who were just put in jail, and swindled hundreds of good people out of the pensions that they worked so hard for. Those people weren't sheep. They were unwitting victims of people at the top who had enough control to hide their crimes from everyone below them, and the average Joe paid the price. Don't you think there are some bad people, and they sometimes they manipulate the good people?
