Lobbying Power.

Do you guys think that lobbying power should be restricted in certain ways for large groups and corporations?  This is naive in one respect-such an attempt might be unconstitutional, since a group has a first amendment right to express its agenda.  But there are other ways to approach it, and how that relates to congressional persuasion, or even 'gifts' is up for discussion.  I don't really know anything about it so I'm throwing it out there.  Also relevant to the discussion may be the ways in which a company is afforded the same legal rights as an individual.

The US government is fucked, and it's going to take a miracle to get itself out of it. The only way these entrenched set-ups come undone is through a lot of bloodshed, and considering a revolution is basically impossible because more than 3/4s of the country are castrated mentally, the only way out is through a foreign-born assault, hopefully China's through nuclear arms. We haven't had a good Chinese empire in a while.

Any way you look at it, reclaiming the democracy can only be achieved by violence. The media is locked, Congress is locked, lobbying is locked, protesting is locked, and even dissent is locked. There's zero chance of getting America back without a revolt.
