The problem is that campaign finance laws make it difficult to raise the necessary amount of money, even for established candidates. For third-party candidates, it's almost impossible. New state laws and county ordinances, much less unenforceable ones, only encourage the idea that private property rights are only as good as the number of votes you get in the state legislature. China believes its speech restrictions are legitimate too. It is no surprise to see a backlash against federalism after this election, where the candidate that got the most votes failed to win the presidency.
Nature is good, humans are bad.
Now that's a real incentive for the Democrats. These all-important voters are featured prominently in focus groups as the media seek to divine what they are thinking. But any time a politician decides to do something about 'indecency,' beware. Only parents can provide that. However, for my friend to be a public school teacher yet say that she'd put her children into private schools is the biggest lesson for us all.
