>Z, you realize that any actual well meaning, idealistic person only has three options after winning a place in government:

>1. Get nothing done, be regarded by your fellow crooks as a kook and party pooper. Basically, just keep your chair warm.

>2. Become corrupted and one of the gang.

>3. Quit.

There are exceptions. Alan Grayson. Donna Edwards. Ted Kennedy. Pat Leahy. Bernie Sanders. There aren't many; maybe 40-50 out of all 535 members of the House and Senate, but we need to add to that.
