But capitalism only encourages that, and indeed rewards bad character traits, such as greed for wealth and power. The only way to prevent their bad character from ruining society for the rest of us is to change society at a fundamental and structural level. That way they can only inflict their bad character on their families, and their families can issue them an ultimatum to shape up.</span></div> <br><div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: garamond, new york, times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> On Tuesday, March 17, 2015 12:12 AM, E.

Ibn Khaldun would say it is due to the decay of the social order <br>
and that the New World Order is SSDD.<br>
<br>
I would say it is due to the decay of the moral character.<br>
<br>
The people like leaders like Kirk who are morally ambiguous.<br>
<br>
Kirk also says,<br>
"America remains the greatest force for human good in the entire
world."<br>
<br>
That's a cool perversion of logic.<br>
