Thanks for your detailed reply. I didn’t realize corruption was that bad, not having lived there. The business of a Chief getting his cut of the money, the “little people” don’t get much of anything sure sounds familiar, even if in different places and contexts. That is pretty much the Democrat business model, isn’t it.
I’m glad I lived through the 1980s and early 1990s. I really thought humanity was making progress. Now I see everyone digging through the Ash Heap of History to bring back everything that caused such misery in the 20th century. I don’t know, people just turn to new versions of the same old lies.
You are right, the 80s and 90s seem to have had a bit of a lid on problems and went pretty smoothly. So did the latter part of the 70s after Vietnam, there was a lull in the action. Back then the campus was a quiet place. Of course I was at OSU after Vietnam and that place was quiet for the most part all through the war.
Of course there were the Clintoon wars and all of the corruption that followed him.
Leadership sets the tone.
