re: #23 Ojoe

There is no proof against this type of spending on political speech except to educate people to be perceptive and think for themselves, once it is legislated that you must disclose who is paying for what ad.

But the efforts to repeal “Citizens United” are misplaced, I think, because hidden in that effort is the assumption that people are stupid and must be protected from hearing things, and behind that is the even worse item of an elite who wants to control what you hear.

Let them spend their money.

It is ultimately up to us to keep our eyes and ears open, and our minds active, and we will get what we deserve as a return on how well we do on that.

So we really are doomed. ;)
