My response to one NY Times reader regarding the Supreme Court . . .

27. I agree that we shouldn't just stop voting

We should strive to keep a Democrat in office, a Republican would not have passed the healthcare reform that Obama did, and raising the minimum wage for anyone wouldn't have been anywhere on the radar for a Republican, I get that, but I also subscribe to there still being a lesser of two evils thing going on and that won't stop until we put a plug in that pipeline of corporate money that funnels into BOTH parties. The Democrats will throw us a bone every now and then, but we need to get some of the steak too! Could I get an over/under on how long until enough money comes in to do enough corruption that there is virtually no difference between the parties, until both parties get their money from corps and blatantly tell the rest of us to "fuck off" not caring about how they appear to us because they know their corporate money makes them untouchable. Something's got to give.
