Same to you! That was my 2nd point as an assumption. It shouldn't be that way - politicians changing positions not because of new developments and/changing circumstances but because politics is changing. Sad! Really sad! A profession that's supposed to guide us to the dreamland turned ......thieves, lairs, killers, etc. So long they stay in power. More sad! We seem to accept that's ok. I bet what they do from how they invest to how they earn wealth to how they do there job - if I do any of those I will likely be in jail. Amazing!
