Lessig said, “campaign contributions need to be limited, and Congress should limit but not ban independent expenditures[.]” SCOTUS says campaign contributions are protected speech. How does Lessig know that "everyone agrees that money shouldn’t be in politics?” Is he making it up? Lessig says, "Politicians [and the media] profit from us hating each other.” Communists too. If unity is a noble goal why does Harvard promote affirmative action programs? Why are some groups of citizens prioritized over others, e,g, women, homosexuals, and Black Americans? Does demonizing "the rich" by the 99 percenters and HLS grad Barack Obama encourage unity? What is the role of Harvard's Kennedy School in coddling congressional corruption? Newly elected US Reps, are invited to the K School for orientation of the issues. Many attend. Is there any connection? Why are these ethicists silent about the wholesale criminal abuses of the Boston FBI? One agent is in prison convicted of homicide. Another died in prison awaiting trial for homicide. An FBI informant is on trial in Boston for 19 homicides. A frame-up of four white men for murder by the Boston FBI. Two died in prison, two were released after 30 years. US Judge awarded $101 million plus attorneys fees. How can corruption be eliminated if the FBI is killing citizens? Hello? Anybody home?
