now it's you who is the naive one. Even successful businessmen can't be trusted as politicians. All you have to do is look at the tobacco lobby or the automotive lobby to see that (though not so much to the extent of the tobacco lobby - i think the auto lobby protects the planet more then ppl give credit).

<br>People crave power, now matter how poor, rich, or unsuccessful. It's human nature to crave the ability to have influence over anyone or anything. Once people get that power on any level they will fight tooth and nail to protect it. Politicians are inherently corrupt (not all but most) and no amount of term limits or limits on soft money is gonna change it. All it does is force them to find ways around it.<br><br>
