Perhaps because of his experience with government,
mailto: Michael_O._Patterson@HUD.GOV knows why this debate
  IS pointless.


In America, politics is based on private money --
 whomever can raise the most money usually wins. So
  money IS politics, and profit is the major criterion
   for ALL political decisions. In other words, we have
    no political system, only an economic system. In the
     Capitol of capital everything is for sale.


So if you want to influence public policy, forget ideas
 and moral arguments -- bring your checkbook.
