Quote of the Day: On political ‘donations’

When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the
first things to be bought and sold are legislators.

    I really love that quote.

    (I did get to use it in one of my earlier OpEds, "The Best Congress Money Can Buy?"

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
