Dentistry Student Who Prompted Investigation Resigns

Speak out against impropriety, illegality and wrongs by the powers that be and you get your head chopped off more often than not. No one likes a tattle tale as kids and when a whistleblower blows, they get smacked virtually every time. No one wants to do the right thing if it means losing their undeserved and unearned perks.

The powerful of the ME generation has sired a new generation believing themselves to be entitled to things they do not deserve merely because of their powerful parents. And those self same parents enable this attitude by believing that just because they have power means their kids can have the same selfish perks, too. And in the meantime, those who want to do right are stymied, knocked down, silenced and shoved out. If anyone wonders why we have Enron, major league steroid abuse and other abuses of power and privilege, they need look no further than here - where those who want to do right learn the painful lesson that no amount of right will combat a privileged wrong, that nice guys really do finish last and that playing by the rules earns you only grief.
