You bring up a subject I wonder about too.
It must have something to do with humans and how humans act in groups. Most people are simply trying to make their way. Wherever or whenever. They seek stability and safety for themselves, their family, and perhaps their close community. Governance is seen as a necessary evil. We have to have some rules and management but let's keep it to a minimum.
Yet there are a small percentage of people who see this in a totally different light. It's an opportunity. A means to achieve status? Wealth? Power? I am not sure but it really doesn't matter.
It's not that they have any great talent for governing, management, or finances. They don't care about those things. They seem to populate these positions of authority to a vastly larger percentage then you would find someplace else where they have to walk the walk.
So should I be surprised when the corruption you mention rears it's head all over the place?
Walking Tall was a great movie BTW
