NEWS FLASH:

The general voting public will not affect the corruption in Washington.  The vote of even 4 million people will not compare to the money, power, and prestige that can be gained by wearing the title of government.  And so, as long as power can be gained by being “voted” into office, corruption will reign supreme.

Was this really a news flash?  Don’t we all know this to be true?  Though we wail and moan, gripe and complain, about the corruption of power in Washington, we will never be able to stop it.  Let’s set this as a mark in the sand:  Men are corrupt from birth.  Perfect power corrupts perfectly.  And any measure of power a man holds over another is quite possibly as corrupt as the measure of power he is able to assert.
