...to help me run my country. Let's give this a run-through, shall we? Pick what you think is the best answer to the following. Then, after a while, I'll post another. Just because it's fun.
The Issue
A well-heeled lobby group is pushing for the elimination of regulations that prevent corporations from donating money to political parties.
The Debate
........"This is supposed to be a democratic country," Information Technology industry spokesperson Chastity Rifkin says. "Yet these archaic laws say I can't donate money to support a political party. They put ceilings on the amount any party can spend on advertising. It's time to stop treating voters like children, and trust them to make up their own minds. Free the ballot box!" ........"You say political freedom, I hear vote-buying," says popular anarchist Billy Silk. "If these fat cats get their way, politicians will buy their own seat in Congress. And let's face it, a slick advertising campaign can convince a lot of apathetic voters. We need to tighten the laws, not repeal them. Money should have no place in politics!" ........"Frankly, I don't see why we need to have elections at all," says your brother, Aaron King, over a late-night malt whiskey. "You always seem to know what's best. Why not scrap the whole political system? It would make things so much simpler."
So, who, in my country, do you agree with?

Oh, I love that website! *searches for the link* It's SOMEWHERE around here...I know it started with an N.
And I say just abolish the whole political system altogether. You can do it all by yourself, and us, of course.
