re: #78 Killgore Trout

Yeah, that’s what I’m struggling with; Protections for citizens engaging in political activity vs. transparency in large donations influencing the democratic process. I’m still leaning towards more transparency but recent developments give me pause about the potential for activists to use the information to hound political opponents.

Why do you invariably seem to oppose any political activity that could make the rich and/or powerful uncomfortable?

Do you honestly believe that activism should be limited to nothing more than polite letters to newspaper editors and elected officials? If so, do you think that any real progress is going to happen with such limited tactics?
