Mon Dieu! It is worse than I thought possible!

bump -- very interesting read

Interesting and not in the least surprising.

Joke about the difference between corruption in Asia and corruption in Africa:

"Two students, one from a third world African country and one from a third world Asian country meet and become good friends at a University in America. After they graduate they both go home to their respective countries.

Ten years later the African travels to Asia to visit his old friend. He finds his friend has been very sucessful since graduation. He owns a fine home with 15 rooms, three cars, a swimming pool, and has 10 million dollars in the bank.

The African asks his old friend how did he become so successful and properous? The Asian points to a large bridge off in the distance and says:

"See that bridge? I got 5 percent!"

The African leaves very impressed and goes home.

Another ten years go by and this time the Asian goes to visit his old friend in Africa.

He can't believe his eyes. His old African friend has a palace with 100 rooms, 5 different swimming pools with connecting canals and waterfalls, gold plated bathroom fixtures, a fleet of over 50 luxary cars, three helicopters, and 2 private jets, and over 100 servants with 200 private security guards. He has over a billion in the bank as well.

After a lavish banquet the Asian can't help himself any longer an asks:

"My old friend, I have never seen such wealth! You must tell me how you acquired such a fortune?"

The African takes him out onto one of his many verandas overlooking the vast African horizon. He points and says:

"See that 4 lane modern highway?"

The Asian looks over the African sky line and only sees the empty and wild African step land and no road or highway of any kind.

The African then points to himself and says:

"100 percent!" "

BUMP! This is just an awesome article.

I have to go take a shower. I feel dirty just reading about all the corruption.
