...of 55, let me just say that I don't like your generalization.  I, too, have little respect for our mainstream media.  Our Constitution gives them special status, by recognizing "the press" in our First Amendment.  But journalism has allowed itself to be swallowed by the corporate behemoths who seek to dominate and control our country.

The answer to the problem is not merely in getting more young people involved in public life, although that would be a wonderful thing.

The solution to the problem is public campaign financing.  I keep telling people, that's where the revolution begins.
