As of mid-August 2009, there were six (6) lobbyists per single (1) member of House and Senate (Bloomberg News). That's 6:1, folks. Just for healthcare reform. For financial industry reform, there are 2,400 lobbyists in play. The Chamber of Commerce spent $26.2 million--in the first 2 quarters (6 months) of 2009. Clearly, private industries and their foot soldiers on K Street/Capitol Hill influence/dictate American policymaking. No matter who's 'voted in,' it's the influence machine that rules Washington. Worse, there's a good chance that the Supreme Court will grant corporations (as 'fictive persons') to spend unlimited dollars in funding electoral campaigns. Is there hope that this country will be a democracy one day? Or is it doomed to become increasingly, irrevocably plutocratic?

Long, comprehensive, illustrated, well-written (somewhat outdated) article on a paradigm for business where shareholder profits were balanced by social value. Clearly spells out that profits and wealth are not the antithesis of ethics and social responsibility. Rather, they are mutually-interdependent, even synergistic.

Passionate about music of the world, especially hand drums and flutes. Love jazz. I'm an informationist, and love to do medical research on the internet. I will be bookmarking everything from progressive politics to botanical medicine, from social media to Buddhism. Enjoy, if you have a moment...
