My soapbox issue of the day was triggered by watching the WorldCon execs getting arrested. These guys were in their young 40's. They have grown up in the times when all the "old-fashioned" morals were thrown out. Just as the sexual revolution was promised to usher in a new era, so was the "new economy" supposed to end the business cycle as we knew it.
However, despite attempts to badmouth the "old ways" in favor of the Brave New World, it's turned out that all these "new ways" were really based on lies and deceit. I'm imagining the WorldConMen saying, "Hey, look at this new way of accounting!"
