Who Can Beat Obama in 2012?
And you would agree that we the people have created this lose-lose, toxic atmosphere?
>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:
Obama and Paul are both good guys. I give them both the benefit of the doubt that they'd like to kick some ass in Washington, but it's not possible with the way our elections are structured. In order to get elected, you not only need big business bucks, but you also need to reassure big business that their power will not be challenged, lest they tear you apart in the media. This creates an election to election cycle of dependency that nullifies not only the voice of the people, but also the vision of the politician.
For Ron Paul to get elected, he would need both the financial and moral support of multinational corporations, which leaves his supporters with 2 possible outcomes: a principled loser or a neutered winner.
Lessig talks about this cycle of dependency in the latter half of this video: http://videosift.com/video/Lawrence-Lessig-Your-Broadband

Until we sort out our campaign finance system, we will always have subservient leaders.

How you get to prison affects how you're treated inside
^"Well i'd never admit to something i didn't do. Never. Couldn't do it."
I understand that statement as I sit fat and happy behind my computer monitor on my nice chair. The decision isn't nearly as easy when you face the death penalty, and some overworked public defender that is most likely saying you should take the plea. That situation happens a lot. The public defender in most cases tries his best to never go to court...not because he is a bad person but because he is playing the odds. Odds are that if his client goes to trial and loses he dies. He is a public defender so he can't exactly drop all his other cases and focus on this one; so truly, it would be better to lie and go to jail then to die for his client.
I used to have my own overzealous idea of the justice system and how I would behave in it. But once you are behind those bars, and the cold slam of metal clanks behind you and you take your perch on the cold scared concrete floor next to other inmates who scare the living ship out of you; you experience a whole new paradigm. Make no mistake, jail/prison is a horrible, miserable place. When you get there it would take a marvel of a person to remain in their rational mind. The fear, stress, and panic deep in the hallows of your mind are nearly tearing you apart. The DA knows this, and uses it to their full advantage, as do the officers and other inmates. You may think you know how you will act in hell, but until you have been there I wouldn't be so hasty to sum up your actions.

Larry King's Worst Interview Question
They were just joking around, sheesh. Jerry wasn't getting all high-and-mighty or anything.
Give Jerry some credit...he has tons of money, yet he still goes out and performs stand-up. Stand-up in places where they would tear you apart after a minute if you're not funny. He can ride on his fame maybe...maybe...the first 5 minutes of a routine. But after that if he isn't funny he's dead. It's pure, raw, naked, vulnerability to put yourself out there like that and even more so with people thinking he's Mr. Hot-Shot. Yet he still does it...and he doesn't have to at all.
