I dunno, Pachy ... I don't think it's fear for me as much as loathing ... See, I worked in government for 20 years, attended those sessions, saw for my own eyes and heard with my own ears what's actually going on.

It was always remarkable to me how they could say and do one thing behind closed doors while putting on such a marvelous mask of deceit and treachery while publicly addressing those who never actually witnessed exactly what they were doing - helping themselves more than anybody else.

Of course, that being said, occasionally a good and sincere statesman or stateswoman will come along that truly does try ... Alas, and unfortunately it's akin to salmon swimming upstream against grizzly bears ... The good ones rarely last very long, and that's an unfortunate thing for the rest of us.
