Well...
Let's see if'n we can decide this bit for sure.  Now...were you THERE when this
stuff was being written?  Oh...you missed that day?  Hmmm...bummer.  Well, I
think we need to throw out this argument, sorry.  Next contestant, please!

HEY!  WHO SHUT OFF THE LIGHTS??!?!??  OK, so I realise they're hip-deep
(eyeball deep?) in hypocrisy and self-centredness, but you've GOT to admit,
they ARE trying to help.  And I don't think you'd get very far saying Mother
Theresa is just doing it for the money.  Among the naff ones, there are those
whose hearts truely beling to God and are dedicated to serving Him.

Sorry...don't want to preach.

Well...again, let's not be hasty.  Do you think Clinton/Gore can do any better? 
Not likely.  What's needed is a COMPLEAT purge and restructuring of Congress. 
It's never gonna happen, though.  8^(  Well, maybe if enough of us VOTE someone
QUALIFIED might get the job...like Bullwinkle..."Hey Rocky, watch me pull an
economic plan outta my hat...PRESTO!" 8^)

Don't look at me in that tone of voice!  BSU disclaims me, and I disclaim them.
