Agreed though I must add to "full understanding" of 1) consequences 2) compromising and most importantly 3) honest reporting 4) transparency between all concerned. Back to your household metaphor: If the husband keeps 20% of his income secret and in an off shore account while at the same time takes out a second mortgage on the house; and filed for divorce; while the wife just got three credit cards that she's not talking about; and also filed for divorce; and the kids just took out a lone on a new Lexus; smashed it into somebody's house; but won't tell the folks (and the police found drugs in the car). Well - good luck with balancing that household budget. Metaphorically - that's the situation at the federal and state levels. > Wanna run for office? Not a chance.

The side that holds EVERYONE involved in these matters scrupulously accountable. The side that truly stands up for the weakest; the most rational; the most honest. The side that honestly seeks to solve problems and BUILD clean, healthy communities. > ( You would be good for either.....) I'll take that as a compliment - thank you. ;~) Regards, George Lottermoser george at imagist.com http://www.imagist.com http://www.imagist.com/blog http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist
