Why is socialism so hated in the US?
Why is lobbyism legal in the US?
Why is the US planning to spend more on nuclear weapons than space research during the next ten years?
Why is there not a revolution in USA, like, right now?

One upside of lobbying is that Congressmen deal with a load of issues that's near impossible to research fully and make an informed decision on due to the high number. One of the key lobbying techniques is bringing that information as well as public opinion polls and the like to the politicians. Obviously that research can be biased in some cases, but then again not all lobbyists are oil reps or serving the interest of x company. If we ban lobbying we're making it more difficult for organizations fighting to end domestic abuse, marijuana legalization, less police brutality, and other important issues to have their voices heard in Washington. So should we just ban lobbying from people or ideas we don't like?

It's a mixed bag, and I think that it's done enough good and bad to take up either side of the fence and be justified with your opinion.

The story goes..

One day George harrison and Eric clapton were just hanging out in George's yard.

George had is guitar as he usually did and was just improvising songs.
apparently It was beautiful morning that day so when the sunlight hit them George started singing.

"Here comes the sun" and little by little that's where that song was born.

part of me wants to get a higher-paying job but I'd miss a few people so much that I'd be sad every day.

I just want my San Franciscan Victorian house, god damn it.
