I hope so. There is no foolproof system of government. Ultimately it comes down to the good faith of the people who are placed in charge.

BrainGlutton, have you entertained the idea of working for TalkingPointsMemo.com? As you undoubtedly know, they’re hiring.
That you’re a wonderful researcher/reporter is a given. And with your political leaning and considerable computer skills, you could probably do the TPM job at home, no matter where the company base is. They could use a guy like you.
I sincerely hope you consider this.
Thank you for all your enlightening posts.

Thanx for the tip! I e-mailed them a resume! 
(Unfortunately, they’re looking for someone who lives in the DC area.)
I hope you get the job nevertheless, BarinGlutton.
