I know, I know, the two shall never exist in the same sentence together. I know that, and you, my gentle reader, know that too. However, that's not stopping the groups and people in the North Carolina Legislature from trying to "fix" the problem. Oh, the problem? The problem is that Jim Black insists that he is above the law.

The Raleigh News and Observer gets one right when they say that "new ethics laws" will do nothing to "fix" the problems with campaigns and the cesspool that is North Carolina government. But don't worry, the Democrats that control the legislature have a solution: Ban free speech.

No, really. They want to do things like only permit government to fund campaigns -- ZERO people allowed ANY say in government -- and this isn't just the usual fringe groups. This is from Rep Bill Culpepper, Democrat. The only reason he won't try that now is "the public's not ready to buy that."

There's a simple way to fix this screwed up cesspool that won't limit freedom, but I doubt there's more than one legislator that's willing to do it -- remove ALL limits on everything, but report all income on the internet immediately. Seriously. That's what FREEDOM OF SPEECH is all about.

If Bill Gates wants to buy a politician, let him -- but everyone will know about it immediately. And then put in term limits, and all this nightmare about lobbyists and what, exactly, IS legal would be gone in a minute -- along with the professional politicians that don't have a clue of what it's like to actually WORK for a living...
