Age of Scams

What times to live in! People held on high pedestals have now got their faces rubbed well and truly in dirt and muck. Politicians, Administrators, the Defence forces, Entrepreuners, all blackened. So where does the common Indian go?
Every day I am now curious about hearing of a new scam and learn how crores and crores of rupees have been laundered. At least we aren't a poor country!!!
So Kalmadi, Raja and Yeddyurappa are on the loose yet. The ex-chiefs of Army are yet to be brought to book. A lot of anti India proclaimers have a free rein to express themselves. Incidentally, today another such anti-India mongering was put to an end in Chandigarh. So, the moot question once again - does Democracy allow such freedom? Is there a line that can be drawn somewhere? And yes, Lalu has met his fate, which I suppose, one saw coming.
