Of course, the way I see it, money = power. Politics = power. Call me loco, but I think it's folly keep the two separated. It's like splitting the Red Sea. While we may lement the unyielding influence of special instrests, which most politicians are beholden to, I feel that instead of lamenting such a state of politics on our news shows and radio programs, we should fight fire with fire.
Does such a tactic pose a risk of getting out of control? It does, but think about the number of people who stage protests against whatever government policy is out there. Yelling, and shoutng, and chanting, and beating drums, and holding signs may fall on the deaf ears of your elected officials, but if you pool your money together in a sizeable amount, minds can change.
(BTW, this probably should be in Philosophy, now that I think about it)

Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small, unremarkable man, giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer.
