PN-G bamatex Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 I'm not going to get up here and defend the entire profession, but I do think there are people in office whose sole goal in life isn't to simply get reelected. I think they're outnumbered, but they do exist. new tobie and Mr. Buddy Garrity 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
