I thought I was the master of equating things.

"All administrations are corrupt" and "All administrations are equally corrupt" are NOT the same statement.

This is the beauty of our very cynical system of government. It assumes corruption, it assumes veniality, and it has pitted three branches of government against each other to make it suck the least amount possible. ANY assault on this sytem by ANY administration should be vigorously opposed by the people. I believe this administration is way out in front of many others at cynically and dangerously dmamaging this system.
