My objection is that it is a hypothetical exercise; wholly unrealistic. To comment further is a waste of time.

You were the one who asked for my comments. I didn't seek you out. But the reason to discuss hypothetical concepts is that they can help us understand where we are now and help us get ideas for how to fix our problems.

For instance, the politicians in Washington say there is a huge problem with the way campaigns are run. That the current system leads to unbridled corruption. Their remedy is to eviserate the First Amendment. Surely, it makes sense to discuss alternate means of solving this problem.

I have proposed an alternative. If you don't want to discuss it, that's fine. Don't post.
