[quote:15bac]Trunks, I'm starting to get jealous of your naivete. If I had it I would be 30 years younger.

[/quote:15bac]lol.....not sure if thats a compliment but I will take it as such. Basically, I understand your reasoning, but just because thats the way things are done currently doesn't necessarily make it right.
[quote:15bac]I work with an office full of guys making 80-90K who spend all day surfing the web with their thumbs up their asses. Why would anyone want to take on a job with real responsibility for that kind of money?[/quote:15bac]Once again, because they want to help the people they govern. If they don't want to help the populace, they shouldn't be there in the first place. Money is completely beside the point. And considering they would be fairly well paid, I only see the monetary side as a bonus.
