Kastel. Lobbying current office has become a huge industry in our nations capital. The 1st choice of special interests, foreign AWA domestic, is those who've previously held important elective or appointed office. It's an ironic variation on the line from the classic Eagles song, Hotel California. <You can check out be you can never leave>. Great for D.C. real estate investors, but not so good for the nation as a whole. Huge amounts of <questionable> money has fed the growth of this industry in recent decades. The overall impact on our pattern of government has not been positive. There's been a steady increase in official corruption as self serving office holders cut deals to the detriment of the people and nation they are supposed to be serving. Public service in an increasingly secular culture - without the checks and balances of the stronger moral and ethical standards of previous generations - is increasingly mutating into self service at the publics expense. And FWIW, I see the entire trend as one of the LT drivers of the decline of America. Do you have any similar trends in Canada? Welcome to the thread. Isopatch
