....and how many members of our current crop of political animals do you think started out with such high ideals, only to find that it was the system that changed them? politics has been described as the fine art of compromise and one of the first things surrendered in the process seems to be one's principles. caught up in the game, the players seem to lose sight of any goal but attaining more power. too much is never enough and you can never have too much, all in the name of those ideals that were shed to acquire that power in the first place.

the road to power is paved with discarded integrity and populated by murderers and thieves. how can any traveler not be corrupted by such an atmosphere? i'm sure that many of washington's political denizens believe they are still fighting the good fight, as they sell the last of their souls for one more day on the hill.
