And speaking of presidential campaigns, the American presidential campaign which begins much much too early, do we all agree that the American political system is utterly corrupt, and reduced to nothing but money? I thought so...

Our enitre political system can be purified and saved with seven magic words:

               THE PURCHASE OF POLITICAL ADVERTISING IS PROHIBITED

A new national law. This idea comes not from me, but from Gore Vidal, as far as I know.

Every candidate for political office in this country purchases  the election, and therefore purchases the office, and thus our plutocracy.

This law would force the media and the public to work together to provide fair, honest elections.
