Biggest problem: "The press is so weakened by being made a profit center of media giants" Press: sucks. Without a strong press, you can't have a democracy worth writing home about. Even now Bush is trying to shut down Al-Jazeera. It's absurd. Supposedly ' liberal' (ROTFLMAO) rags such as the NYTs and the WPost were outed as administration toadies. The Republicans know how important the 'press' is, they're buying it up via the FCC and sometimes even outright. Solutions: 1. VOTE BY MAIL. No tampering, no big lines, no intimidation, no confusion, plenty of time to think about the issues and plenty of time to vote in secret. It's a state-by-state thing, not a federal government thing. 2. 100% Publicly Funded Campaigns. If the US can figure out what 'indecency' is in speech, then it can figure out what a publicly funded campaign looks like. 3. Term Limits. Political mobility in this country sucks.
