2012 ELECTION

[HairOfTheDog]

we need to make campaign reform that gives each candidate the same amount of money and it needs to be public money not private.

We need to be able to elect from our entire population not just the rich fucktards who can afford to stay in the running.

I could get behind that reform. But, I'd like to see some level of knowledge and critial thinking testing introduced as well. I could see some portions of the population voting for someone because they think that the candidate is physically attractive or because the candidate is famous or some such bullshit. I think some type of knowledge/thinking screening should be introduced for juries too, but then I guess they wouldn't be a jury of "peers" if they actually understood the process and criteria for decision making.

I sound like I think everyone is stupid. I really don't. Just that I think people focus on the wrong things a lot and we end up with unqualified people making decisions that affect many.
