I don't care what political/economic system you have; if you don't have a way of Stomping out corruption--your system won't work, or won't work very long.
For all our(United States) faults, what I am most proud of is that corrupt individuals are eventually caught. It might take too much time, but in the end; they are usually caught.
Personally, I despise corruption, and nepotism! (I threw in nepotism because I believe the best person should get the job, not the guy who has networked the most? Plus, it's been on my mind lately.)

George Will has a great column today about whaling museums, the mohair subsidy and sugar tariffs, as examples of the sort of petty corruption which we fall prey to.
