We need to run a literary contest on the pros or cons of campaign contributions in all junior and high schools within 100 miles of Pennsylvania Ave. Part of the paper will be to “figure-out” how to solve the problem of campaign finance. My bet is that some student will come up with the solution to have every student march to Capitol Hill and not budge until laws are changed – I could see a Pied Piper effect here as students march toward DC. Count me in!

Things such as the TPP and its secret negotations are unfortunately having an impact on this country’s much more enlightened Copyright rules, for starters.

Fortunately, campaign financing rules here make elections a much more pluralistic, democratic process, with multiple parties some of which sometimes share power in coalition form. The Unites States would be well advised to take a good look at Canada for inspiration, I would strongly recommend Ms Clinton look into it, if she’s really serious about campaign reform like she hinted to.

Liz disagrees without swearing, so she’s welcome. Better if she could articulate WHY she thinks I’m an idiot, but OK.
