Here's an interesting take on how we could solve some our problems ...

That is actually not a bad dream but the people who actually run the
country will never let it happen and the TV networks won't even let us
have a serious public discussion about it.

In that regard there will be a consensus between Fox/ Newscorp,
NBC/Univerrsal, Disney/ABC and CBS/Viacom along with all of the
smaller players. There is simply too much money at stake.

Virtually all of the billions that the special interests bribe
congress with, goes to these media players.

They will say it is curtailing your freedom and it is a constitutional
violation, the same way that nobody in media really complained about
Citizens United.

Yeah, well, **** them. I don't watch that much tv, except for the
zombie show Walking Dead on AMC and channel flipping from time to
time, and History and such.

The problem really needs to get addressed. I liked the argument that
said it's going ot be hard to get an amendment through (generally a
good thing.. it should be hard), but if anything is going to improve
we need to get away from the money in politics.
