My transformation is nearly complete. Due to the constant stream of lies, deceptions, and distortions we have been fed for over a decade, I have sadly come to realize that most elected and appointed government officials are dishonest, self-serving, partisan, power-hungry, disingenuous, and often corrupt individuals who have little or no integrity, and are generally motivated by personal and private agendas, greed, and self interest. I no longer have any faith in the truth or veracity of virtually all statements, findings, testimony, promises, reports, or statistics that come from any government official, department, or agency.
And that really sucks. :thumbdown:
