Jack -- <<But Penny left politics. Maybe he felt they were urinating into the wind>> Lots of good people have left for that reason. Look at Bradley - incorruptible, intelligent, and respected on both sides of the aisle. Same with Rudman - in fact, his leaving probably hurt worse. Kasich oughtta be the Republican nominee for Prez; I'd vote for him. Never happen, of course, his district is too blue-collar<G> <<Much of our political corruption could be cured by simply passing a law against contributing over, say, $100 to any politician or party>> Amen. <<Chance of passage? Zero.>> Amen. For now. Jeff

>>"Much of our political corruption could be cured by simply passing a law against contributing over, say, $100 to any politician or party. The law would apply to individuals, corporations, unions. Simple enough. Chance of passage? Zero."<< Honesty is good for POOR PEOPLE because they know it will get them into Heaven. Corruption is good for RICH PEOPLE because they know they are already in Heaven and want to make sure they stay there. Jim
