Citizens United


Rich people have too much time on their hands. They defend themselves, like Ann Romney whose job is raising children, though everyone suspects she has had a bit of help. Still, given the earth-shaking election about to shape the country, rich people are busy throwing hundreds of millions of dollars into the fray, hoping to influence the outcome, hoping to become richer, hoping to become stronger, hoping to become more powerful, hoping that all this is seductive and that people will flock toward such rich people and worship them. How selfish! How pathetic. How sad it is to fail to consider the good that one could do with just a smidgen of compassion.
