Now, however, U.S. subsidiaries of multinational corporations can spend directly on advertising for and against candidates and issues, although foreign individuals are barred from being involved in the spending decisions.
If Genachowski betrays the public, "it could mean the end of the Internet as we know it," threatening the future of web sites like this one, something readers can't afford to let happen.
Americans are largely recieved as the butt of jokes around the world. We are fat, lazy, cry babies who can't speak any other languages and sometimes cannot find our own home state or country on a blank world map. We are the only people in the world who claim in everyone else's face that we are "the greatest country in the world"... and yet we are so damned stupid.
Both of the political parties in the United States are dead wrong about how to fix this economy. I suspect that the Republicans are wrong intentionally. After all they are the ones who have watered down every piece of legislation, making it nearly unbearable, and then voted in perfect order against it. The Democrats are just a mind-numbing combination of stupid and spineless. For every Alan Grayson and Sherrod Brown there are 50 Rahm Emanuels and 35 Blanche Lincolns.
