I work with politicians all day. They are NOT all corrupt. They are pretty much normal people who have to make unpopular decisions and are always in a damned if you do, damned if you don't sort of position. Extremely long hours, moderate pay...all in all pretty thankless.
But it is easy to get cynical. I don't think corruption is as big of a problem as complancency. That happens a lot.
I hope you're right, Lizbud. I don't see why a national guard flunkie should get praise for spending millions of tax payer bucks in order to act out a Top Gun fantasy.
