I learned my politics from actaully living in the US, and experiencing the results(rewards or consquences of them). Plus, I debate with many people, who are older and wiser than many people on this message board(no offense guys, but these guys are really smart, and you have to stay on your toes in a debate with them). I could ask the same of you? There are multiple ways to learn about politics, economics, and all that other mind boggling crap. There is no one better way. What works for one doesn't work for the other.
AS for you being uncorruptable, I seriously doubt that. You may not be like Bill Clinton and Jesse Jackson, but I am sure they weren't like they were back then. Until you have been in power, you will not know the effects of it on you.
Answer this question, and honestly. Have you ever lied to save your own skin? Have you ever devised a scheme and implemented it to make yourself look better? Have you ever held back something important that someone else needed to know? If you have done any of that(I know you have done the first one. WE all have) then you are corruptable. Being human equals being corruptable. Only one human wasn't, but that gets into a religious debate, which is not what I wish to get into at the moment.
