Judge's Handshake, Justice Betrayed

I think I'll take a different tack regarding the supreme court decision reversing the 60-year ban on corporations giving money directly to political candidates. I'll see this as a good thing.

For most of our history corporations have been considered persons, so now these people gained the right to free speech and can contribute directly. This is fine with me, because perhaps now we'll get to see directly who contributes what, who exactly owns our system. Today we have political action committees and research foundations that do the same damn thing, so these liberal fears of corporatist fascism in America are overblown. It won't change what is already in play in American governance.

One of a hundred thousand examples is the old Global Climate Coalition. By this name you'd be assured this was a group of concerned individuals, activists and businesses working to develop climate solutions, when indeed it was funded by Ford, Exxon, Texaco, and others who opposed all greenhouse gas legislation. This is fine, you can oppose it, yes, but perhaps now these corporations will directly contribute and openly disclose their influence our legislators.

I've an idea. Instead of our politicians wearing pricey Kiton suits, how about beautiful custom tailored Kasey Kahne jackets suits,
with fine embroidered corporate logos who's size indicates the relative contributions/influences they receive. At least it would be out in the open. We might as well make this as clear as possible -- the latest court decision did that very well, and wearing KK Menswear would enhance that decision nicely.
