True Lance..Kre did say it best...and my idealism is still intact --- after all these years I am able to be disappointed in a politician

**" They say that patriotism is the last refuge
To which a scoundrel clings.
Steal a little and they throw you in jail,
Steal a lot and they make you king.
There's only one step down from here, baby,
It's called the land of permanent bliss.
