They are always fromerally introduced as the honorable, such and such, in your opinion have polititions and judges in general become so corrupt and unhonorable that they should never be addressed as honorable? Unless of course they are so blaienttly corrupt like the Mafia who are oftn called men of honor!

Sometimes I wonder. I have known a few men in these positions that were "Honorable" but, as we learn from History, with power comes corruption. It human nature.
I know this is going to sound nuts. But, sometimes I think what it be like if I had a Star-ship like on Star-Trek. Fly through space. Soon my fantasy comes back down to Earth. I start thinking; "Yea, I could take over the World and place a good and caring Government into place! Ha! OK, then how do I keep the control? I will rule with an "Iron Fist" Yea, a person do someone wrong I show the World my fair and just punishment. Then from example the World will live in peace!
Hmmmm? What have I just explained? What has my mind envisioned as what is right or wrong?
Then I think to myself, with power, corruption does come! I think I just stay the simple, poor, caring person I am now. I not want to be rich, I not want to be President, I just want to care about people in my on small little life. Because from my fantasy I see, that no matter how good a man/woman is, with "Power" comes "Corruption"!

My brother is in the state legislature and I know him to be an honorable man. I also know he's not alone. There are many people in local, state and federal government who are trying to do a good job. Unfortunately the corrupt ones get all the press.

Well, even if it is hypocritical, it is still a matter of etiquette. The respect is due to the person's position, even if the person is not worthy of the respect.
