As long as it is someone else's blood, the congressperson, i.e. politician, will jump through hoops, and bend over backward, to get the feast for him/herself. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Case in point, in NM we have a senator Domineci who has dementia, and they will let him vote on life effecting bills until the next election. He has had it for several years. He has the Federal Courthouse named after him, and he isn't dead, in the real sense, yet. How the heck does that happen? One big jump by another flea. Thank you Mark Twain for giving us some humor in a sick world. -- Judith, Corrales
