I agree completely with the remarks from hp-ped!harold that we should
obey all laws and accept the results!

We all complain about corruption in politics.  Sure there are alot of
corrupt politicians who take bribes and use their influence for their own
gain.  However, except for the scope of their influence, they aren't doing
anything that is different than what we do when we selectively decide which
laws to obey and which ones to break.  I certainly hope we aren't reaching
the point in our civilization where its ok to break laws that only affect
a few but not ok to break those that affect many.

I'm very concerned that we are leaving a heritage for future generations that
teaches them to selfishly look out for themselves and ignore others.  We
must each "clean up our own house" first and then we are in a position to
criticize others.  To do otherwise is hypocritical.
