Just how corrupt is DC? The lobbyists? Want to get pissed off?

Read the first page and decided I didn't want to be pissed off that much.

The whole government/legal system are corrupt and most likely un-salvageable. This country is on the track to a violent revolution. The next few years are going to be interesting to say the least.

Just follow the money trail...

The moral and ethical ones are the exception, not the norm. Like the article said (paraphrasing), Humans are in the system, and therefore the system is flawed. It's easy to armchair quarterback this and say you'll be the upstanding one, but I have a feeling it'd corrupt you too.

"What's the harm in sneaking some verbiage into a bill that will allow someone to open a casino, it'll create jobs, etc. etc. etc. [rationalizing] -- and if I help my constituents get what they want and I get some free dinners or front row tix to my favorite sports team... it's a win-win for everyone right?"

And the line continues to blur from there as long as you think and rationalize that you're helping people -- like Abramoff thought.

This is why I think it's funny when I see GOP'ers preach values and morals. At least the Dems don't preach from their highhorse when they're caught doing sh*t.
