The only rational conclusion is that such a politician does not, and will never exist, as it is an inherantly dirty game.<br /><br />That's why checks and balances on the state, its size and activity, will always be necessary.Daz Pearcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07935407418226324575noreply@blogger.com
