I feel the same at times, when I am in a pessimistic
mood; but after all, corruption is not a synonym of
death, and we still have a lot of Pali texts - and
there *are* even today some Buddhists, both ordained
and lay, whom I would not call corrupted.

So I don't think it is too late to try to do something
quite yet. But of course, the best time to start is
always now...
