2010: The leaky year

Wiki Leaks, Radia Tapes, Scandals, Graft, Corruption. Well that pretty much sums up how the world looked like in 2010. And you wonder how recession is over. The cumulative money accumulated or by passed by the rich and mighty is good enough to bail out countries like Greece which is in deep recession. So much money down the drain has only meant that politicians or for that matter people in power do not have any remorse about their actions. For them the greater good is their own good...screw the country, the world. Has human society gone so rotten? Do we even have the right to call ourselves civilised?
Take the case point of India as a country. If we were not so corrupt...am sure we could have built a great wall across Pakistan to keep the terrorists at bay or kept poverty in check which is somehow fostering the naxal movement. The Indian Middle class, instead of opting for a commune based life could have actually contributed to a civic society which is far more safer. Has democracy worked in the real sense?

I am looking forward to a new year which has solutions..rather than more grief, more corruption and more scandals. But then I am feeling Quixotic!! :D
