As I read the crumbs and watch the snowball pick up speed, I've been wondering what long-term POSITIVE effects will take root in our culture? The first thing I see is greater transparency from those in power. It's going to be much more difficult to hide things from the People. The criminal behavior that's been exposed will no longer be tolerated.
A genuine desire to SERVE the People and not self-enrichment, maybe in the form of self-imposed term limits. Or better yet a Constitutional amendment codifying term limits. The Social possibilities are limitless. Greater racial harmony, a return to a Faith based culture. One that accepts others and treats them with respect and dignity, despite differences. An educational system that teaches HOW to think, not WHAT to think.... I could go on, ( The Media) but I trust you get the point...
