Wow.  This is going to change things.

Apparently, the Supreme Court, putting aside its tendency of adherence to precedent, has just ruled that corporations may fund political campaigning - apparently to unlimited amounts.  While I will probably go and read the opinion and dissent for myself, to see if I can understand what the hell the majority was thinking, if this be the case, well, let’s just say that I’m disappointed.  Corporations can already sell most of us on just about anything, good or bad.  If they turn their considerable marketing skills to political campaigning (to an even greater extent than they probably already do), how are we supposed to have any sort of informed voting?  I mean, I know that many people don’t vote informedly already, but this can’t help!
