How the hell did we get here?



For all the help, GPS, MapQuest, and Google Earth assists we have at our fingertips, how did we get so lost? A few years ago things were going along fine and then almost literally, we discovered there was a financial and economic meltdown going on - and we were, not just invited, we were the main course. Seems that big, (read giant, huge, ginormous) businesses had been acting in a greedy, self serving, and possibly illegal manner, in order to MAXIMIZE their profits, MINIMIZE their risks, and, best of all, let someone else take the fall - that would be MOST ALL OF THE REST OF US.
When we were young we were watched and corrected when we did things wrong - a kind of oversight. As we progressed in school there were tests and exams that also checked to see if we were actually learning - more oversight. Even as working adults we have "ride-a longs" with our employer, or other forms of oversight.....so how did the entire USA get to the point where no one was watching the store? Or is it possible that the lunatics ARE ACTUALLY running the asylum?? Got an opinion?
