They exist, more than you can imagine. Try googling the proposed Nicaragua canal. The political side-shows and propaganda are ridiculous. Besides, with new ships exceeding the previous Panamax-class, the Panama canal may need to expanded again.

I do agree. Avarice has always led people to amass an enormous personal fortune. As long as we ignore our nature, we won't eradicate corruption which creates the cruelty of the world we live in.Miriam Molina wrote:Corruption is the pastime of many wicked souls, with some even unaware of the evils they sow. This social malady was started by the serpent in the garden of Eden. And mankind (and womankind, lest I offend anyone) has never been free of it.

Without a doubt, there is corruption and greed on massive levels in today's world.Phikim wrote:We see Max getting into a dangerous venture; expansion of Panama canal characterised by financial greed, deceit and political manoeuvre. Multi-national institutions eyeing the same project.

Extremely right point . I don't get it how your soul allows you to do that in name of success.jenjayfromSA wrote:Only too real, in fact today it is probably far worse. In our connected world the opportunities for deceit and double crossing are even more apparent. Only look at WikiLeaks. Emails criss cross constantly and money can be moved easily. Technology changes, but unfortunately the greed and the need for power does not.
