You make many good points, but I have to disagree with the above. If you look at the two costliest blunders in our nation's history, (The Iraq war and Housing Bubble disaster), most of the leadership – the Wall Streeters, Congress, Fed, Federal & State regulators are all pretty "uni-cultural". I think it is their collective incompetence rather than a sudden change to apathy and treason that caused this catastrophe
