When there is an illusion of purity,
the situation is ripe for corruption, as the illusion of purity
inhibits investigation. The illusion not only hides corruption, but
makes it possible.
Yesterday, I happened onto the Science
Channel program Freakonomics,
which I had never seen an episode of before. During it, there was a
segment on corruption within sumo wrestling in Japan. The
two sentences (or something extremely close to it) were said a number
of minutes apart in the segment. If that sounds somewhat bizarre,
sumo wrestling, besides being a sporting event, has large portions of
Shinto ritual within it, according to that report.
