There Is Still The Illusion That If

Money Corrupts The Process Of Reasoning.

If The Only Way A Library Can Offer An Internet Exhibit About The New Deal Is To Hire A Lawyer To Clear The Rights To Every Image And Sound, Then The Copyright System Is Burdening Creativity In A Way That Has Never Been Seen Before Because There Are No Formalities.

Companies Will Often Use The Legal System To Scare People Away From Attacking Them. But We All Should Be Free To Make Critical Statements About Anybody, Unless Those Statements Are Malicious.

I Find Focusing Clearly On The Problem Is The First Step To Seeing A Solution. The Problem Is (a) The Insane Amount Of Time Spent Raising Money From (b) A Freakishly Tiny Proportion Of America. Basically .05% Are The "relevant Funders" Of Campaigns, Meaning Candidates Can't Help But Be Overly Sensitive To The Views Of That Tiny Fraction Relative To The Rest Of Us. If That's The Problem, Then The Solution Is To Spread The Funders Out: To Increase The Range Of Us Who Are The Relevant Funders Of Elections, Through Schemes Like Vouchers Or Coupons Given To Every Voter.

I Think The Archaic Idea Is Actually Winner Take All, Because The Principle Of "one Person, One Vote" Is A Principle That Was Introduced As A Fundamental Principle In American Law In 1962, Long After States Had Moved To "one Person, One Vote."
