I guess what bothers me most about this is that we get what we deserve....

Why would anyone with any actual skill in management of any form want to subject themselves to the life in higher level public service.

I don't recall any similar pictures of any of the fortune 500's CEOs, presidents, etc. that have a budget larger than NVs and more shareholders than NV's population. So what is the possible enticement to qualified individuals to enter public life? Certainly, not the pay.

I am not saying we don't have any good politicians, just that they must be gluttons for punishment, masochists and/or truly committed to subject themselves to the unrelenting and unrelated scrutiny they are under.

As long as it is legal, I want my politicians to be happy. If that means smoking, social drinking, prostitutes, alternative lifestyles of any form, etc... so be it!

Why you have to be part of a god fearing Norman Rockwell family to get elected is beyond me.
