And one senitor from the state of MA who I will not mention by name should have been jailed for manslaughter some 30+ years ago.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

*7 have been arrested for fraud
*19 have been accused of writing bad checks
*117 have bankrupted at least two businesses
*71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit

What's the betting the 7 for fraud are involved in the other 3 things.

Depends. Are you specifying that each of the seven is involved in all of the other things, or merely that each of them has been involved in one or more of the other things?

I believe it is a world wide problem. There seems to one word which can be used to describe polititians anywhere they can be found - "Corruption!". Look at Ancient dragon and Nichito for instance, they are describing politicians on different continents and if you don't look closely you'll think they share the same county. Same here in Africa. My younger sibling wrote me from UK and told me that he thought that british legislators are above the insipient corruption that oozes out of our own "hallowed" chambers. He found out much to his disappointment that he was unfortunately wrong.

It is a human thing. There is always the dark side of man trying to come out when the circumstance and conditions are right. In so much that democracies world over vote large budget to maintain people with fat "behinds" and fat chairs, it would always attract well dressed crooks who are hell bent in having their "fair" share of the national cake.

My opinion has always been to make these legistlator(s) chairs a partime job having minimal budgets just to put them offices together.

"Hallowed Chambers", world over, breed "Hallowed crooks"

Yeah, but they vote themselves pay raises. That's bull. I don't see how the founding fathers didn' see that loophole.

I think it's the path to office that requires corruption. Without corruption and greediness etc. one is unlikely to be in office so all the "good people" out there don't have a chance to lead our country because in order to get to that position they must go against their values.

i dont think the american politicians are worse than mine either.

mine can be divided into two groups.

group one is utterly incompetent and we have problems ranging from undrinkable tab water all the way up to the rampant rape and murder of small children.

the second group are intelligent enough to steel in either legally or illegally. with legal theft i mean writting yourself a paycheck of many thousands or millions of Rands as a performance bonus while your organization is in fact making a loss.
