Why the bad guys win

Stalin is alleged to have inferred that democracies are controlled by whoever count the ballots, not the people who cast the votes. In a similar manner, criminal punishment is more a matter of choosing which laws are to be enforced rather than the magnitude of the crime.

This means that important people rarely get investigated for the crimes they commit.

This fact is destroying our culture, in my opinion.

Consider the article by David Sirota:

See, Al Capone just didn't have friends in the right places!
