Good old days.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

OK possibly a bit unfair - I am sure there are some politicians that do still have honour etc but there are a lot of snouts in troughs!
In the good old days you knew most politicians believed in what they said - You might not agree with them but thats a different issue. Labour, Tory and even Libs seemed to actually mean what they said.
Possibly a touch of rose tinted specs for the good old days, but not totally.Jim is a Jedi! - Dara
