True. But it has to stike us--even sometimes between the eyes--that there are lots of people who already have serious money getting into the political picture into positions where their holdings could be increased substantially with a nudge here and a tweak there. And they seem to get into positions where they can do just that.

I'd like to see a law in the US that makes complete and full disclosure of all finances, boards, stock, etc., that a person running has. (Terrible English, but readable.) And if they are found to have left out anything of substance, then they face a mandatory 10 years in the slam, NO PAROLE. But then, I dream lots.

Hope you're doing well, pdq. Always have liked your posts, even though I disagree with a few of them.
