Trend Setting

In one of my last posts I used the term "temptations" to refer to what a lot of politicians face. I don't think it was a term that I had heard previously applied to that specific situation. Today I was reading an article on msnbc.com about some of the fallout from the Abramoff scandal. The Abramoff scandal, for those that may not be familiar with it, is about people basically buying influence in Washington. In one particular section of the article, msnbc.com is discussing what changes are being made to make it more difficult to buy influence the way it is alleged to have occurred with Abramoff. The heading reads, "working to ban temptation." I think that's a good thing and the more people that recognize that the better. Just remember where you heard it first.
