Book-burning ‘morality’ at the root of our ills?

THE ongoing media exposure of virtually every agency of church and state, revealing a shambles of ineptitude, dishonesty and wrongdoing, is indicative of a country whose morality in high places is confined to feathering one’s own nest, blowing one’s own trumpet and protecting one’s own party or institution at any cost.

Considerations and values such as right and wrong or the greater good are either obsolete or never existed in practice in this neck of the woods.
