but that hits too close to the truth. Every member of our "leaders" in DC needs to get a copy of this. Not that it would shame any of them, but still. Maybe politicians have ALWAYS been greedy opportunists, but in the age of tRump, it is openly flaunted. They are beyond caring what "we the people" know or think of them. Very discouraging times we live in.

No matter what, there will be someone, someplace serving some other interest. By our nature as humans we're easily influenced. We have a lot of evolving to do before we ever even hint at that level of reality. Our very humanity currently impedes us from perfection.
