I'm with you on this one Dog! If a politician is going to lie to his wife, what lies will he/she tell to the country?

I always live by this saying: You can't get gold from crap!

You need to re-read my post as I did not say one thing about not using morals when making decisions. Maybe I did not understand your post which I was responding to.
