Are you talking about private folks or when US Congressmen and Senators do it by steering legislation to benefit themselves and their lobbyists with knowledge the could never be known by the public and which may be against their sworn oaths to uphold the Constitution?
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.
"'Smith!' screamed the shrewish voice from the telescreen. '6079 Smith W.!
Yes, YOU! Bend lower, please! You can do better than that. You're not
trying. Lower, please! THAT'S better, comrade. Now stand at ease, the
whole squad, and watch me.'
A sudden hot sweat had broken out all over Winston's body. His face
remained completely inscrutable. Never show dismay! Never show resentment!
A single flicker of the eyes could give you away. He stood watching while
the instructress raised her arms above her head and--one could not say
gracefully, but with remarkable neatness and efficiency--bent over and
tucked the first joint of her fingers under her toes.
'THERE, comrades! THAT'S how I want to see you doing it. Watch me again.
I'm thirty-nine and I've had four children. Now look.' She bent over again.
'You see MY knees aren't bent. You can all do it if you want to,' she added
as she straightened herself up. 'Anyone under forty-five is perfectly
capable of touching his toes. We don't all have the privilege of fighting
in the front line, but at least we can all keep fit. Remember our boys on
the Malabar front! And the sailors in the Floating Fortresses! Just think
what THEY have to put up with. Now try again. That's better, comrade,
that's MUCH better,' she added encouragingly as Winston, with a violent
lunge, succeeded in touching his toes with knees unbent, for the first
time in several years."
Yes but we have "American Idol", "Dancing With the Stars", and last but not least, the "Kardashians"!

I'm quite content for the moment with my refurbished BN Color Nook running CM7 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227). It overclocks to 1200Mhz, has complete access to the Android Market and Amazon App Store. I use the Kindle App for books, as well as Netflix, WSJ, obligatory Angry Birds and many other mainstream apps. The display is beautiful and battery life is pretty good. My cost with nice RooCase, 8GB flash MicroSD, and the Nook, $205!
Of course I would like more memory and a Dual-Core but I really don't need it and I don't have a spare $500 at the moment.
What about the deodorant with those wings? I want it also to smell like unicorns, fairies, and butterflies all farting together in a cornucopia of joy!
Tyrell: The light that burns twice as bright burns for half as long - and you have burned so very, very brightly, Roy. Look at you: you're the Prodigal Son; you're quite a prize!
Batty: I've done... questionable things.
Tyrell: Also extraordinary things; revel in your time.

We had much more proportional representation before the adoption of the 17th amendment. The 17th amendment needs to be repealed.

These aren't the drones you're looking for. ...
. And the US government should operate them;remove the desire to make bonuses , and all other problems go away with it.
That is because the US Govt. is so honest and the people that work there are so selfless and greedless? ~

Exercise for you - Find the word ":Muslim" in this article: http://security.blogs.cnn.com/2011/09/29/analysis-model-planes-as-weapons-of-terror/
You mean like when they forget to mention that the guy who was planning to blow up the Washington Monument and Pentagon is (dare I say it!) a Muslim?
