If you're honest today and you want to fight corruption and exploitation done by your government the probability is--you'll be imprisoned or killed.
The "in" today is cheating, stealing, lying etc. If you are a man with high integrity, you're an "abnormal" in today's society.
Those who exposed corruption in the government are jailed or maligned. Those who cheat are still called "honorable".
I'm particularly referring to the event in the Philippines today. Those who exposed the corruption of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's government were either killed or jailed. Countless lives had been snatched due to political killings.
GMA in my opinion is the worst president of the Philippines. She lacks integrity. She betrayed the ideals of People Power II which is to effect meaningful changes in the miseries of the Filipino people. Worst the people become poorer as before the people power.
She announced not to run as President last December 2003 but she ran and cheated in 2004 election as she was scandalized in the "Hello Garci".
Today she announces not to run in 2010 election. Majority of the people do not believe including myself. We cannot trust her for she lacks integrity.
This is not to say that we should all0w dishonesty to perpetuate. We can do our share by joining advocacy group that fight corruption. If necessary to sacrifice ourselves, let's do it. We should overturn dishonesty in our country and if possible in all corners of the globe.
