Re: "This case is the one that proved to me..." I wonder if you are overgeneralizing here. Sure, there are cases of corruption involving the government. Did you intend to say something broader? Proving systemic or structural corruption is another thing. The question we should be asking, in my opinion, is not "Are all governments corrupt?" but rather "To what degree are particular people and particular institutions acting in corrupt ways." Fighting corruption is hard. We win some and we lose some. Our goal should be to win more often.
