The political arena is corrosive. No
one can make it up through the ranks without making compromises that eat away
at that character


I couldn't agree more. Have observed it myself. My former partner, a man of the highest honesty and integrity, got himself appointed to fill a seat in the State Legislature. It was frightening to watch the changes in him. I have friends involved in local politics. Even at this level, corrosive is the right word for it.

Again, the answer is the Libertarinan answer. Take the power away from government, because as long as those in government have that power, it will corrupt them.
