That and the fact that too many people do not know and do not care, does

they are trying to get ahead them selfs.
Exactly, as in "why should I be the one who puts aside his normal life to
rid the world of corruption?" and "I voted for the other guy, so don't
blame me." How about "you have to choose your battles" (as if they have
done so). Another great excuse for inertia is "I didn't know" -- that was
the Germans' favorite after the war.
I have to say, you will definitely do better for yourself if you put 100%
of your focus on doing better for yourself. On the other hand, I don't
think it is true that "nice guys finish last." If you are passionate
about an issue, and you work hard to promote it, people will come to your
side and help you. You don't have to be rich to be successful.
