Institutions and the people in them.

This morning, I listened to the Diane Rehm show and the topic was the miserable state of affair in the Roman Catholic Church, and the following came to me:

It is not the church that can be blamed for the rapes and violations committed, it is not the bank per se that is fraudulent, it is not the government as an institution that is responsible for the corruption. No, ...
it is the people in them that need to be prosecuted, and that is the reason that we need to start to leave the names of the institutions off and out of the news media for a while. If the people in these places were pure, regulations would be unnecessary.

After all, default swaps are going on as we speak, as if nothing is wrong with that method of financial dealings. Let's take the Wall Street Journal and list all the folks alphabetically who have committed the financial fraud and mis-guided actions out of pure greed, and these people would be more reluctant to continue.
This action can be duplicated in church periodicals, regular newspapers, government watch dogs, educational magazines, etc.

During this interview, a person called in, and stated that what happened in the church happened in her household. Her father, brothers, uncles and aunts conspired in the personal violations she experienced. The human being is profoundly flawed, and blaming institutions for the calamities that we are currently experiencing all around us is a waste of my time.

Let's take their places of hiding away from them! Expose them!
