Our government has been captured by those it was meant to regulate, all up and down the line. It coincidently made campaign contributions more valuable and then built a freeway for their commerce. They just renamed bribery and called it Freedom of Speech. It's how they control risk -- and us. Can we get it back? Not by focusing on making the other guy look bad, liberal or neocon, emphasizing our differences, creating division. We disagree more about the meaning of words than we do about what we believe in. We decry but never explain beyond a word.
