Feb 9 2010: As cynical as this may sound, there's fundamental changes within the human psyche and culture in order to defeat corruption. A parent will always protect their children and a lover will sacrifice anything for the other. What more then with fraternity brothers and the list goes on.
Corruption to one is culture to another. The American system of transparent lobbying can be likened to "corruption made aware", as long as it is published and no other lobbyst are against it then the motion moves forward. Therein lies the challenge again, the lobbyst with the biggest budget almost always wins.
Can whole nations change, I trust this is almost impossible; this behaviour is ingrained into humanity's psyche, we may yet need another Messiah and religion to change it.

Feb 15 2010: from the Hidden Words
"The best beloved of all things in My sight is Justice; turn not away therefrom if thou desirest Me, and neglect it not that I may confide in thee..." -Baha'u'llah
You want a world that is moral and just, then you have to teach moral and justice to those children who will inherent the world, elsewise it will continue to be the same rot as before.-

Apr 20 2010: But those teachings will always fall short of reaching every individual, and it will be those who lack a basic sense of morality and justice who will succumb to the innate drive to seek superlative power, and they will be the ones in charge. Sadly, we didn't get to where we are by being kind and just to everything and everyone around us.
Corruption is not ingrained in humans. Survival is. Those who feel psychologically at risk of death are most likely to disrupt the natural balance of life. Those who hate the poor because of their "work ethic" are actually just terrified of the natural order restoring itself, of all humans benefitting equally again, instead of America borrowing and stealing to buy TVS and iphones.
But this isn't ingrained in people like you think. It's taught, and we can unteach it. You can spread love and wealth everyday to those less fortunate. And it will benefit us all.
