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. Allen ...decvax!decwrl!rhea!cache!leigh
