Why is short term profit for huge corporate interests considered serious political discussion, but the idea that compassion and mercy should guide public policy considered less so? Something that is the only survivable option for the human race is not a less serious conversation.

Corporate loyalty is such a blinded decision. We all have friends and family that would still choose money over our, and even there own wellbeing—and that is sad. We need the modern equivalent of the kiss that broke sleeping beauty’s spell.

Did you see the film Casino Jack. Hickenlooper's last film. It's excellent about lobbyists and Jack Abramoff. Worth a watch. @realjonlovitz is really good in it.

The only reason is that huge corporate interests have a stranglehold over the Overton Window and our policy making.
