Please Support Banning Political Commericals

43. Do you think our founders imagined?

Do you think our founders imagined that we would be able to watch moving pictures in our living rooms broadcasted from 2000 miles away instantly?

Of course not, so why the hell are we asking people who have been dead for 200 years how best to run things. Why not take Abe Lincoln's advice on speed limit laws, or maybe we should ask Sigmond Freud about the side effects of Paxil?

This nation is in the state it is because we have dropped the ball, our democracy was supposed to support our capitalism, but unfortunately our capitalism has taken over our democracy.

It's the 21st century, and it's time to talk about solutions that work in the 21st century.

This country is built on what it called a living democracy...meaning that people have fundamental rights but we aren't so stuck in our ways that we can't open our eyes to the situation we find ourselves in.

I never suggest that we ban political speech (feel free to read the post again.) My suggestion was we no longer stand with our heads in the sand while our country is bought and sold by the highest bidder.

The government's power to regulate commerce means they have the power to regulate buying and selling. There is no conflict with the constitution.

How dare you suggest that we shouldn't be talking about this also...is it so offensive to you that someone suggests a real world solution to the problem rather than just sit and whine about being marginalized and ignored. If you have nothing of value to add to the conversation, maybe you should practice self control and let the reasonable adults talk.
