... it really IS a crying shame when otherwise honest, upright people [sometimes] consider it necessary to resort to devious tactics that go "against the grain" - and everything they've believed in all their lives - for the sake of being with the person they love; when desperation appears to call for desperate measures ... "when needs must ... the devil drives", etc. We're human beings after all ... - NOT saints - and, as a fellow mortal, I truly empathise.

Nevertheless ... for better or for worse ... *politicians are the ones holding the reins of power ... the Government Departments that *they regulate, seldom "miss a trick"!

So ... without meaning to preach ... ... don't disregard the principles you've long held dear ... it's simply not worth it!
