Conflict of interest: Whenever allegations of conflict of interest involving public officials arise, the person being accused never seems to have a problem justifying or rationalizing the activity that gave rise to the allegation.

A conflict of interest arises for someone in public office when that person acts, or appears to act, on behalf of someone other than the citizenry.                                                                  [June 22, 1998]

Detritus- in nature, detritus is dead plant and animal matter that makes new life possible. The very bottom of the food chain, detritus is the rotting leaves in the forest, the silt on the bottom of the pond, the thick dark mud in the salt marsh. It sticks to your shoes, it smells, but someday it will be food for something else, and that something will be food in turn, on and on up the food chain until you pick it up in the supermarket and put it in your mouth.
