[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m astonished by how many people are involved in this web. Does this mean most people are easily corruptible?  Everyone has their price?  And for so many people to keep all this quiet for so long???[/quote]

It is amazing how many. BUT many more people of comparable wealth and influence were not involved.

Good point.  Still feels like so many people - more than just a few bad actors.

Yes, slavery too was more than just a few bad apples.  A whole swath of immorality and depravity. [b]Even at the highest level of our govt[/b], many found fathers and others were so depraved - slavery, white male supremacy, denying basic human rights to the majority of the population, what they did to the Native Americans - stealing their land, ripping apart families, torturing and abusing children.[/quote]

I see that you agree with my previous point, but I feel like your frame of reference is off.  Morality did not flow from the top down on these issues.

There is plenty of evidence, Harvard elites were funded by slavery after the civil war.  The academics loved to go down to Cuba to study plant physiology on plantations... slave plantations that is.  It's pretty much the same idea, same Harvard elites.

Like it or not Suffrage for women movement was born in the Midwest, like the abolitionists before.[/quote]

?? You are not the PP that the post just above responds to. I am.

I am unclear on the point you are trying to make, but I certainly wouldn't use "Harvard" as a catch-all for anything I find elitist.[/quote]

You seem to think people at the highest level are somehow more moral than the rest of us.  EG "Even".  Slavery was the institution carried out by the rich.  It was their laws.  They bought the boats and traded the slaves.[/quote]
