I don't think all politicians are dishonest. Some certainly are. But I don't
think that the mayor of NYC is making bad choices because of dishonesty. I
think the bad decisions he is making (and not all his decesions are bad) are
being made because he is not really in touch with most New Yorkers. One
example is that the mayor just put into effect a new school bus plan. The
plan left thousands of students stranded, put siblings who go to the same
school on different buses and force kindergarten kids to cross busy
multi-lane streets. This wasn't done to make dishonest money. It was done
out of stupidity.  But if I want to start with dishonest politicians, I all
need to do is read about the democrats and Taminy hall in  NYC.

Yet, this does not mean that anyone in office today knows what is in his/her
blind trust.

Do you think that a blind trust will prevent Dick Cheney from making money
off his work as Vice President later? Back to Haliburton, perhaps. It has
not left my notice that Haliborton and other contractors have made a ton of
money from the Iraq war while young people from the US, Britian and Iraq are
dying left and right.

Certainly, there are many reforms that should be made in things like
campaign finances.

But to come to the conclusion that Dick Cheney knows what is in his blind
trust with evidence is unfounded.

Until you are able to make an intelligent comment in this OT thread, I will
not respond to you.

You haven't shown yourself to be worth my time.
