The scariest thing about corruption in New York is its acceptance. It’s the “sophisticated” view that so clearly overlays a landscape of self-interest and fear.
It’s frustrating to see how quickly and completely the county’s educated people distance themselves from any wrongdoing or partisan payoffs in their own community; immediately jumping to another place, another belief, or even another time; always denying the darkness — and yet fearful to stray from the herd.
“Corruption is always with us.” “They’re going to die soon anyway” “And I’m sure it wouldn’t interest anybody – Outside of a small circle of friends”
The New York State of Corruption; it’s a place where even the investigations need to be investigated.
