I, too, believe that many if not most politicians are untrustworthy.  
This is in spite of the fact that the few I've met personally appear to 
be honest people who are dedicated to their constituents.

I'd just like to point out that a good liar can fake a damn good 
handshake.  I'd like to decide our elections on something more than 
that.  It would save a lot of money, though, if all we needed was a pair 
of handgrips and a pressure sensor.
