What is your position on whether the office corrupts the politician or the corrupt politicize the office?
The NRDC is a favorite target of yours; wasn't it founded by two fellow graduates coincident with the formation of the EPA with the expectation of creating both a new worldview and a comfortable living for themselves?
Would you consider public office for yourself?
Limited government limits the potential for corruption. It is up to us to elect leaders who will institute systems capable of adressing complex problems with simple solutions within that scope. In that regard, the public needs education badly as to how conservative solutions based in free enterprise can address complex problems such as environmental management.

Hard to read their initial motives, but it's certainly turned out that way.

I'd rather teach prospecitve candidates. I've actually done that a couple of times.
