Peter Eigen: How to expose the corrupt
About this talk Some of the world's most baffling social problems, says Peter Eigen, can be traced to systematic, pervasive government corruption, hand-in-glove with global companies. At TEDxBerlin, Eigen describes the thrilling counter-attack led by his organization Transparency International. http://www.ted.com/talks/peter_eigen_how......upt.html

This is a very interesting talk, Tommy. Thank you.
Have you had a change of political heart? Eigen argues that much the suffering of the 3rd world is due to local corruption, aided and abetted by Western governments and corporations who not only tolerate corruption, but also participate in it. Even more interesting for Café members, perhaps, is Eigen's contention that global warming is a real and serious issue, and that solutions are jeopardized by these corrupt practices. It's an encouraging step leftwards for you, Tommy. John

Yeah well what about my contention that global warming is a steaming pile?
You know why don't act naive.

The question about where and how to distinguish the use of money to lubricate smooth and timely business dealings from the use of money to prevent the best products and services from entering the market without unfair disadvantage is ... curious.
Kindly remember that it is not in the interests of those who wish to rule to have a population capable of being unruly. more fun: http://www.ted.com/talks/shaffi_mather_a......ion.html

Thanks. "An insane person does not know what an impossible task is." Cool.
