“Having gone through what I went through, watching my family be torn to...” — Jack Abramoff Quote

Having gone through what I went through, watching my family be torn to shreds and my children suffer immensely, I can't be the agent of doing that to someone else. I can't be the agent of causing someone to go to prison.

But, over time, we realised that there were just too many constraints, and for ordinary citizens to be the change agent was not that easy.
