I'll have fun with that in future projects. <br /><br />But, truly, I was just musing on how fiction should approach this proclivity of gov't officials to being corrupt. And while scandals are fun to write - almost too easy, since there's so much historical evidence to draw from - I wonder if it wouldn't be more compelling to write about a government that represents what "could be" or "should be" and how that gov't faces temptation and crisis. <br /><br />We'll see. <br /><br />Thanks for the comment, Songbird.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14093997168286551055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695736990039545823.post-73976220850715109412011-06-08T18:03:14.999-04:002011-06-08T18:03:14.999-04:00Is there such thing as a perfect paradise... it so...Is there such thing as a perfect paradise... it sounds lovely.....boring.. no..... if it is perfect then how can it be boring ~ it's perfect! :P <br /><br />The problem with politics is it pompously bespeaks of what one's moral character should be... of course we don't want liars and cheats running our country.. making laws... etc... but affairs... sexual texts.. I don't care...It's your own business just as what I do is mine... as long as you are not using my tax dollars for your hotels and phone bills... I only ask.. can you balance a budget and fix unemployment... Politicians are people.. people are flawed as you pointed out... Our media (and our maybe obsession with finding fault in people) and whatever opposing party who did NOT get caught are the reasons such a scandal is making headlines to begin with......<br />It happens in the govt.. church... whatever business.. and I assume it always will... <br />Now the church and corruption.... that's a whole other story... I can't even go there with it's hypocricy.. and YES it should be held to the standard it sets for itself on high!!!<br /><br />And a politician who mucks up his career for no apparent reason.. had a reason... SEX... it's a strong force.... strong... Don't you think ;) I do... :)A girl https://www.blogger.com/profile/04555923290674604726noreply@blogger.com
