... first we have to admit that American democracy is a fucking failure and see how we can resolve it.

I'm going to say start by getting the money out of the system but thanks to SCOTUS we now have it enshrined in law that you can buy elections. So we have a job to do.

Again, the Libertarian idea that individual actors will be guided by the market to a resolution seems absurd.

I said that vandalism != violence. Dunno how you assumed that was a ringing endorsement. - Robert_Wyatt, 11-08-2011 21:08 (Views: 1154)
