I don't typically talk about things so mundane as corrupt government officials here, as that sort of thing is so entrenched in the Beltway that people only seem to care when it gets way out of hand.

In the last year, this threat has claimed the lives of at least four small children and injured at least 10,000 others. That threat is the stupidity of their parents.
