There Ought to Be a Law

If a company has changed its name within the past 5 years, or if a substantial part of it was acquired from another company, it should be legally required to include a statement with the old name in all its publications, announcements, and paid publicity. This would foil companies like Blackwater and Philip Morris that change their names to escape the bad reputation of their past deeds.

I'd like to see a law requiring all public employees and officials (from school janitor up to the president) to list all the organisations they're part of (from the bi-monthly bridge club and up to the Freemason-Illuminati-whatever), and of all those organisations to make their member lists fully accessible to the public.
So next time a presidential candidate says something like "at this time, I joined the Skull&Bones (or whatever), an organisation so secret that I cannot tell anything else about it", the response would be "Well boo hoo hoo, you're not getting the job then."

This could be the first step towards having a president who'll serve the people who VOTED for him, not just the ones that PAID for him.

TV networks are losing ratings anyway. People are starting to wake up to the charade. Besides, missed an episode of Lost? Heh, you can torrent the whole season.
