Is this actually true? Are you saying that every person in the world is morally bankrupt?
We hire corrupt officials because people allow it. I fail to see what this defeatist attitude solves.
Apathy is the enemy of democracy.

Today, our government is huge, and has a lot of power. This means that often times the people that get into government aren't doing it as a servant to the people, but instead as a service to themselves.
We need more servants. Viewing this reality and calling it Apathy or not Apathy is a perspective. We are all free to our perspective, and I think the wider variety, the better.
