- A side topic:
-
- Why do businesses meddle in politics so much but complain when people
- react to their meddling? I fully understand businesses looking out
- for their interestes, but many times businesses lobby for laws that
- don't event have a remote impact on their undertakings! It's like
- the business is an extension of the people in charge of its political
- preferences.
-
- This happens in both conservative and liberal politics.

- Anyone care to comment?
