Is a hive mentality , government or is it anarchy?
========================================
I would say that bees and ants are programmed to be governed and be governed by genetics.
Money is not speech. Most often, money pays C (a media outlet) to publicize the campaign rhetoric of A (the candidate) as written by B (his speechwriter/ handler).
If we are to have fair elections, "fair" being everyone gets an equal opportunity to be heard by the electorate, then the present system is defective. If Ross Perot, for example, had not had millions to put forth his plan, no one in the media would have taken him seriously: he would have been a weird little pipsqueak that sounded like a backwoods hick, ranting and waving charts about in a thin, reedy voice. As it is, despite his erratic antics during the campaign, he got 21% of the vote.
We recently elected Rick Scott, a medical healthcare executive and unindicted swindler, governor of Florida because he had an adequate supply of loot left over from his swindling days to buy the election, which was split among three candidates. We also had a mortgage swindler named Green that almost bought the Democratic nomination for Senator. Florida will not be govered better because of these two men. Their money only served to get less competent people elected.
