Super "PACs",,, The Campaign Jungle

"The time has come for the Department of Justice to step in and pursue criminal complaints against the candidate PACs. Limits on spending used to prevent donations from becoming outright bribes, but now the limits are gone, and the path to corruption is clear."

Elections, Freedom & Net Neutrality.

A brilliant article by Ken Watts: "

By this point, you probably see the connection between Internet neutrality and the ongoing theme of this series: the real danger to a free market is not government intervention, but the control of the market by the big players.

Who or WHAT in the HELL is ALEC?

"Through the corporate-funded American Legislative Exchange Council, global corporations and state politicians vote behind closed doors to try to rewrite state laws that govern your rights. These so-called "model bills" reach into almost every area of American life and often directly benefit huge corporations. Through ALEC, corporations have "a VOICE and a VOTE" on specific changes to the law that are then proposed in your state."
