BAD NEWS FOR DEMOCRATS?

Democrats have now lost their filibuster proof majority in the Senate. Is this a bad thing? Maybe not. I am not a fan of absolute power. Absolute power made the Democrats argue amongst themselves. Opposition is usually a good thing. It concentrates the mind on what is and is not important.

The U. S. Supreme Court has decided that corporations now have political free speech. Everyone is assuming that all corporations are Republican, which is probably not the case. Also unions will now have political free speech. If nothing else come of this, at least there will be a LOT of money poured into the economy as corporations and unions put political ads on television, on the internet and in newspapers. I expect the internet community will have great fun checking the ads for accuracy.

I should warn corporations that customers also 'vote' by refusing to purchase items from corporations when the corporations advocate policy that the customers find objectionable.
