Supreme Court, Tiger, sex addiction

The supreme court ruling on campaign funds seems to rock my boat. I am reminded of some futuristic SiFi movies where corportations control everything - become the government, and only a priviledged few reap the rewards. We may be on the verge of having big business (the folks with the bucks) actually control elections in this country. It is very uncommon for the loser of any election to have expended more money than the winner. (Ross Perot being a notable exception). If Corporations are allowed to spend unlimited amounts of money for a candidate, they have a real good chance of winning the seat and controlling the subsequent votes of the individual elected to office. Polliticians are influenced daily by the lobbying of corporate interests. Now it is the citizen voter's turn to be influenced by the money about to be spent on flashy and misleading ads. America - don't you love it? In other news Tiger Woods is going to a sex addict clininc. Gee, I guess sex is now compartmentalized in the amount that is medically approved. Sounds like a religious thing - only in missionary position and to make children. Hmmm. Haiti is falling off the front page. Text messaging is new donation darling. Look for more - probably in the form of texts to your phone asking for donations. Potential scam issues here. The health care bill is now on 'hold', folks who need medical care will not get it (or get some band-aid care at local emergency rooms) I wonder if the death panel crap was really about not providing medical care to those who cannot afford insurance. Think about it . . .
