It *is* such a pain to have to deal with voter registration, with campaigns, with public disclosure, with elections, with hanging chad. Certainly it would be a lot less expensive for corporations to buy their legislators directly without having to try to influence voters. And think of how that money saved will improve the bottom line of those corporate "stakeholders" and how it will trickle down to the ex-voters. May we never forget that "what's good for General Motors is good for the country." - Charles E. Wilson, the former head of General Motors and Secretary of Defense under President Dwight Eisenhower. --karl--
