Deliberate?

Can all of this really be deliberate? As I sit and watch the state of our Union, and the turmoil we face, I have to wonder - are the actions of our Government deliberate? The scandals plaguing our Government currently appear too calculated to be happenstance. If so, why would the Federal Government of the United States of America want to break its own laws? I understand that the inherent nature of people is greed, and to think of themselves first, but can so many people be thinking of themselves that they would systematically disobey an inventory of laws by which our very Republic was founded, and maintained for centuries? Otherwise, these numerous acts of disobedience make no sense.

Mankind has a tremendous lust for power, granted, and throughout history he has allowed that same lust for power to destroy him and various countries along with him. Will America be just another example of this, or do The People have the will to change it?

I believe We do.
