I think it rubs off on them, Radar. It's like, when you lie down with dogs you get up with fleas. Imagine how I felt when I found out that supposedly AMERICAN citizens who are consuls in Manila have special bank accounts set up for laundering the bribes they require? How insufferably arrogant they are with the applicants like us who take a number and get in line while completely uninvestigated people who pay up sail right through. My friend has an aunt who got into an arranged marriage with a man who had been a friend of her father's, just to get out of the Philippines. Every time she leaves to go back to the US for an interview (she doesn't even live there with her new husband) they pay $5,000 for her exit-and-return visa to be approved
