[OT] Perverts in the government..really OT

[amalventano1 at tds.net (Allyn)]

As a person reaches a higher public position (or rank in the military), higher
standards of behavior are to be expected.  I suppose from time to time some will
'slip through the cracks', but in the end I would suspect such a group to be
naturally a bit "better" than the average cross section of society, simply based
on the morality that comes (should come) with greater responsibility.
That said, society is that much _worse_, on average, than those actions we see
in the news regarding high profile people getting in trouble.

Currently disappointed in my own superiors' actions (for >6 months now)...
