...very aware of that--I'm not that altruistic/naive/stupid--seen it in action. Hence, my "brief" career in the private sector.
I did some consulting work for a chemical/pharmaceutical company owned by an oil company--the "old-boys" from the oil side still believed that "lobbying" meant going office to office on Capitol Hill with briefcases full of cash.
Another "Big-Ag" company that I worked with was in the middle of a big "innovative" (and highly-endorsed) bio-fuels project--while half their Board was being indicted by the Feds for "price-fixing" on another front.
Ah--the 80's... Reagan, cocaine, money...
