A 24 minute video where Michael Moore and others discuss the money in politics and how much it really effects the ability of the right people to come into power.

And, just a personal thing, Matt Zeller (one of those discussing) is my brother :P

Just wanted to share, but I do wonder, do you think money is really a big problem? If so, do you think it's getting worse or do you think it's getting better?

After really indulging myself in the electroral process I've come to the conclusion that the statement "everyone should vote" is one advocated heavily by the establishment.

Here's the thing. The majority of voters don't know what they are voting for, and that's how we continue to get shafted and manhandled by the establishment. All they have to do is pick a candidate who will appease lobbyists and support corporatism, then run negative campaign ads against the other candidates during American Idol. After thinking that Americans can't be THAT stupid, I realized that the typical misinformed voter will base their decision ENTIRELY on these ads.

Rather than say "everyone should vote", we should be telling everyone to "get informed or else stay home."

Been thinking of new creatures to put in my book/campaign/whatever-it-is lol. Anyways, there's this huge sprawling desert in it and among a few creatures I have thought of already, there' one I'm not sure of. Cactus Ents (Treants in DnD).

Just like the ones in Lord of the Rings only they are cacti. Obviously they would be many times smaller than the ones in those movies, but I was thinking that maybe while the group of heroes travels through this desert, these cactus ents move closer to them until they finally ready themselves for attack.

Here's a picture that I think was in a DnD monster guide: link

Well give me your thoughts.

Basically, the idea is to pass an amendment that does this:

- Corporations do not have the same constitutional rights as human beings.

- The people have the right to regulate corporations.

- Corporations are prohibited from making campaign contributions.

- Congress and states shall have the power to set reasonable limits on election spending.

I really think it's a good amendment idea tbh. I especially like this one comment on the video about it

"If corporations are people, how many people are they? If one corporation is one person, isn't it subject to any limits imposed on one? person?"

And those limits towards individuals? Guess what, it's at most donating $2500 per person towards a campaign. If corporations are people, then the same regulations should be given to them.

Furthermore, if you look at the politicians, look at how many of them are bought by corporations.

So what are your thoughts? Why?
