Reply #18: When will we take the money out of campaigning?

[Gregorian]

When we do that, we'll even the playing field. As I read what you so beautifully wrote, I couldn't help but realize that the campaigns are nothing less than enormous commercials for a very large audience of tv consumers, called the American voters. It has been reduced to that. They have a huge advantage- it's as though the Republicans own and operate the tv networks, and the Democrats have the college newspaper. When we begin to play as honest and even as we can, and we should, considering this is not an ad, but an election, then we will see voters who vote with intelligence and clarity.
