Whether your daily routine starts with going to get the newspaper, consulting online news sources or both to complement your coffee, there are inevitably two themes which leap off the pages of whatever you read -- the loss of confidence by the people in their elected and appointed governmental officials and institutions, and the cause of that lost confidence -- corruption.
