I guess I never learned that. What a load of shit.

What I also find puzzling is that there is a limit on how much an individual can contribute to a campaign of $500, I think. My government teacher said it was $250, but a quick google seach said it was $500. If this is true, you would think this rule should apply to the corporations, who is considered one 'entity.'

the american political structure is definitely better than ours, but i will say one thing for the british version. my fellow brits will remember a few lords (unelected, of course) taking bribes from companies about a year ago?

universal outrage tbh. everyone agreed we mustn't have this.

i would go further and say we shouldn't have a house of lords at all, of course, nor a monarchy or an established church...

So, if I read the wiki article right, some members in the House of Lords have a birth right to be a Lord? That does seem like a strange today. A democracy makes more sense to me, and I can see you think the same. But why does it matter anymore? Corporate America wins in the end.

The road I cruise is a bitch now, baby.
