Excellent! That goes along with having people who profit from pumping bubbles till their environments collapse to give it back. Another impossibility would be persuade politicians not to sell themselves with tempting empty promises, but by giving people better information for making their own choices.

If you want to give a candidate a million dollars, that's fine, by you'll need to cough up 10 million dollars because the contribution is taxed at 90%. Those who want to influence our government should be willing to contribute to paying the costs of their influence. -- rec --
