Before the politicians gravitate to picking your pockets for their self interests. They have to start somewhere. There appears to be more stigna attached to a little shoplifting by a politician that the major legal crimes they commit.

We have grown to take those in stride. So cynical it is actually an expected behaviour. We are seldom really disapointed.

As I told a friend of mine once. You only dislike politicians because you cannot get elected. You too really want your finger in the pie up to your elbow.
