Nice response P-o-P. I'm not about how it started - it is what we do now going forward and try to do a lessons learned. It is difficult because we do live in a global world that we are dependent on. Things will never be important to you/we/I until it happens to us.

And yes we will go back to our bad habits - IMO, Americans have very short memories.

Ten years ago, I was involved in a Corporate scandal - internal and external auditors, lawyers, depositions and the like. For 6 months I felt like a pariah. Many who were involved with the situation left the company and the ones that remained had forgetful memories. Some always falls on the sword. A new corporate staff took over vowing to get to the bottom and putting safeguards in place so this never, ever happens again. It started out positive but over time, things slowly went backwards. Today, it is the same as it was 10 years ago. We have new players, same playbook. The biggest difference is new people with more pleasant personalities. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
