Take the 12 minutes and watch this video let me know what you think.

Whether of not you agree or disagree with her I think she makes some good points and a valid argument based on credible information that our system needs to be fixed. fog

Good luck getting anyone to actually watch the video, they already know everything.

America has never been a democracy, it a republic.

We don't really want the Jerry Springer or Opra audience to decide law in this country.

At 4:00 I'm guessing they want to do away with the Electoral College, but then they mentioned Bloomberg and I was done, he is exactly the influence problem they talked about. Bloomberg can go straight to hell.

I didn't follow the link... Not because I already know everything, but because if I was gonna try to trick a bunch of people into watching a video of, say, a giant getting his butthole bleached by a midget, well this is exactly the set up I would've used... Nice try buckwheat...

A cap full of bleach in to a waterpick is pretty effective....

I heard 12 minutes was more like 24 sessions for you.

I told my shrink, about half way through she left the room screaming incoherently.

And you don't see the irony in calling your sex doctor a shrink?

Nothing shrank buddy, that's why she left the room. She was shaking too.

fixing our system? good anti-corruption ideas, anti lobbying reforms etc are all popular, but Citizen's United shows that when the rubber meets the road and new laws are decided in the Highest Court, where many controversial laws end up, the judiciary keeps the status quo...

I agree with the hopeful tone of the video...but realistically they're good ideas that won't get a lot of attention because each side is so suspicious of the other, that bi-partisan ideas like this are doomed to fail...we'll need a dramatic event to mobilize enough people to get off their couches and do something...

we're more likely to follow in the divided dysfunctional rut that Britain's govt. has become...

sorry...
