Hi Tim

If Tammany Hall was so powerful, I doubt anyone would want to give up that power.....it would be like forcing an alcoholic off alcohol.  It could have gone deeper so it could not be uncovered so easily.   It could be covertly operating..... Sort of like a political mafia hiding behind the law.  C2b2618267b8ab6ef60ab51314395d58f68ea2bc_s 

Forgive me for being so suspicious, its just that after living this long I have seen so much rotten stuff in humans that it tends to make one not be so trusting.  I have seen it in people I have held in high esteem, and its rather a let down to know they are capable of such low things....  Lack of loyalty, lack of honour, lack of integrity, lack of grace, lack of honesty.... seems to be the theme in this age and in politics. Everyone out for themselves and to hell with anyone else.
