Yes, they're bad actors, even evil people. But very few seem to care, even from their time in Arkansas and particularly today. Those that don't care will not be convinced to care, because so many of them believe that they can and will get something from them for support, either public or private. The Clintons and their ilk understand that fact very well and have tapped into that pool better than almost anyone else.

They, or others with their skills, will continue, as long as our neighbors, even our own children, parents, and closest relatives are allowed by the rest of us to grow up without having to learn the harder lessons of life and self esteem that's derived from individual accomplishment.
