Former South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun — whose hard-won reputation as a corruption fighter was tarnished by bribery allegations that drew in his family and closest associates — jumped to his death Saturday while hiking in the mountains behind his rural home. He was 62.

Obviously one does not condone suicide, but at least he recognized he made an error compared to Judas Harper who now is going to have us pay for GM's retirees pensions.

As sad as it is, an honest politician would never get elected. Our society has accepted lies and deceit as a way of life. I would suggest that most if not all have lied to keep their job or for financial gain. Most would find this type of reasoning as acceptable.

one day when i am wealthy and powerful, i will rule this country, and it will be based on truths, and my rule will be to restore power to the people. diminish govt. diminish the nanny state. local jurisdictions will have more power and there will be a small set of rules to follow to avoid a citizens police department from arresting you to do hard labour in a gulag style prison in shackles.
i will also legalize weed, steroids, and all drugs as a matter of fact, but wil secretly compile information on all the hard drug users and have a big purge one night. it will be called "bloody wednesday" as it will be on a wednesday.
I will also track all uses of the social system, and have a team to evaluate them. welfare will have a time limit, and those that cannot help themselves may also suffer in these purges.
the economy will be strong as I will take a socialist approach to industry, and i will also be training and building an army to take over the world. it will be awesome
