Thanks for the reply. As you've discovered, you are already "on the list," for better or worse.
I understand your view, because I also am a perennial optimist, but my optimism is tempered by the realistic fact there is no historical precedent for a reversal of social corruption. Nevertheless, I know any individual who chooses to be free can be.
Societies ultimately are whatever they are comprised of. It is impossible to have a society of hight moral and cultural value built from rotten material. If enough individuals discover their lives are their own responsibility, that its purpose is their enjoyment of it and that only the highest standards of personal moral character, decency, and effort make that possible, there might be hope for a decent society. What are the possibilities of that?
