It has definitely been long standing corruption in the political and banking systems of the whole world that has led us to this current crisis. And finally we are seeing it all being uncovered and those involved exposed and removed from position. It has need to be done for a very long time. It was just a shame it had to be a global financial crisis that made it happen.

It also shows that no country is really a democracy, and in reality never could be. As you say, as individual people none of use have any real influence over anything that happens in the larger world. All we have the power to do is add one vote to try and get someone we prefer into office to try and act as our voice to represent out views in our country. But often we are left feeling powerless to change anything happening.

Equally I don't believe the idea of true democratic process would ever work in a country, much like true communism can never work. If everyone was of equal intellect, education and background only then would such a thing be possible, and that will never be possible. And so it is not possible to give every people an equal say in everything that is done. Many just would not understand. In an ideal world it would be great. In the real would it just is not feasible.
