Apparently Capital One, yet another predatory lender and thug of the earth, provides $200 credit on a card but charges $120 in fees for said card. Rather than increasing credit to that idiot CC holder, they'll issue another $200 credit card with the same fees. Wow! I didn't know that about Capital One. I had been tempted to get one of their cards if they would promise not to send me any more literature. I haven't. But I think I'm beginning to wear them down. They no longer use envelopes that have any Capital One identifiable information on them. I have to open the envelope before I throw it out. We have to get to 100% publicly funded campaigns. Not in the forseeable future. Other things I'd like to see [but won't happen in the forseeable future]in random order: 1. Abolish the party affiliation on voter registration forms. 2. Have a national voter registration system rather than the county system that we have. 3. Get rid of the elecoral college. It's obsolete. 4. Let some non-partisan group draw the congressional district lines. 5. Have 4 or 5 major parties such that there would be little likelihood that any single party would ever control the House or Senate. jttmab
