politicians and feathers on chickens

I just got home from my two day adventure in Monterrey Bay and Peninsula.  The best line I heard was lying to a politician is like chickens having feathers.  They all lie.  What kind of chance do we have if the age old saying is all politicians lie. How in the world are we ever going to dig our way out of this mess?  So you may say, what mess?  This is just the way life IS.  So I say be in the world and not of the world. Heaven help us.
