Points of views are allowed. That's what REAL leaders are for... that's what REAL leaders are good at managing. Lobbyists are not points of view. They are sources of personal income for the 'professional' politicians.

Once again, we're focusing on the democracy aspect, not the captialism aspect.

The key is to let the peoples' voice be heard, no matter how much money have have or do not have. As we saw with this last election, domineered by the media, only two parties were given a chance. That's money speaking. Not the people.

While there may be a need for lobbyists with our current structure, once again I must remind you that if REAL LEADERS were in the place of these 'professionals' the issues would not need to come to their attention in an envelope containing a 5-7 figure check. Do you know what the qualities of a leader are? I'm talking about a DIFFERENT kind of politician. It's a very idealist view, but there are people out there who are exactly as I am envisioning.

I was hoping for a bit more forward thinking from people. New ideas should inspire you, at the very least, to think of new ones yourself, instead of dismissing them as far-fetched.

Let me give you an example. You're a member of my site. Every day you browse the boards, you do so without being assaulted by popup ads, banners, or any other bullshit that would cause you to think I sold out. That's not for the lack of offers I've receieved though. However, because of my desire to create a place where people can not only discuss topics such as these openly, but do so free of such ad placement that diminishes the browsing experience, I've made this a better place on the internet for you.

Leaders are out there with the will to appease the people. They will learn for themselves what all the points of views are and they will take the correct actions to fulfill them.

It works.
