I'm reading a murder mystery by Margaret Truman. It is a good who-done-it about the murder of a senator's wife. I don't know yet who the murderer is. I am bothered by one of the main themes in the story. It tells a tale of corporate money buying the legislation the corporation wants. With enough money any senator or congressman or judge can be bought. It demonstrates how easy it is to corrupt congress. It is scary because it is so true. The supreme court has ruled that corporations have the same rights as individuals and can give unlimited money to buy an election. A corporation here in Maryland has taken this decision to the next logical step and has filed to run for congress. This way the corporation can be sure to vote for it's own best interest.
Vote for Murray Hill!

The fact that can be bought is the plain and simple reason why they change their opinions like a windsock changes direction.
I wonder if corporate mergers will take on the characteristics of marriages and have pre-nuptial agreements and divorces. I wonder if two male corporations would be allowed to marry - maybe in Iowa.
You're right, it IS scary because it is so true. I just pray that they pass this health care bill, though...
