I don't find myself ever thinking that these days. All I can see is corporate implantation--no altruism at all. Just money, money, money.
tw, you're right, we haven't had such an astounding leader in recent history the likes of JFK; he certainly had the mystique going on. But he died so young, and was not without his faults. I suspect lies, deceit and bribery just go with the territory. Not to say that we, the American public, should accept that. But it's a tough tradition to battle against.
