From a literary point of view.....

The "Big Nurse"

Since this blog is about corruption in american society, it makes sense to look at other aspects of american society besides politics and economics.  So, let's take a look at some books.  One book that really deals with corruption is the classic novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest  by Ken Keesy.  The center of corruption in this book is Nurse Ratched or the "Big Nurse" as she is called.  This women, supposedly in charge of rehabilitating thses men, trying to help them, ends up making them meek and subserviant to her will, to the point where they're doing chores in their own mental institution!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5NyyC-UjBM&feature=related&safety_mode=true&persist_safety_mode=1&safe=active  This is a video about what I'm talking about.  The woman won't let them have their cigarettes.  You are taking people whose sanity is viable to flipflop at the drop of a hat, and when they want the one thing in the world that will clam them down yo ration it out and say no?!  Why would a person do this you might ask?  Well, this Nurse here, doesn't care about helping these people, doesn't care if they sit around like vegtables all day.  All the nurse wants is to be in charge and in power.  So the moral of the story as we wrap up today's post.... power can corrupt people, hey, who knew?
