1. K&R! This touches on the ROOT CAUSE of many of our problems!

We currently allow bribery of our politicians! Everyone will acknowledge that campaigns for just about all offices, Federal, State, and Local have become very expensive! Our guys and gals barley work between fundraisers year round. What they are doing is they are going around to the same big donors on a regular basis and pick up the all important check. They are continually looking for fresh meat too. It's like payola in the music industry was, the record company through their A&R guy would pay the station and the DJ's to play their song and pump up their artist. These politicians know what songs their donors want, and that is what they get, or they know they will face a primary opponent with more money than God in their next election. Our song rarely gets played even though it would be the biggest hit!

2. The known bribery is moot

How many on the Court and in Congress have Cayman Islands accounts where they launder bribe money?
