In Light of the Passing of Those of Great Fame and Fortune. . The Old Testament Book of Ecclesiastes is the tragic biography of Adam’s fallen race (i.e., humanity) told by the wisest of all men, King Solomon. King Solomon possessed it all: wisdom, brilliance, discernment, authority, prestige, riches/ wealth, property/ possessions, power, fame, women and glory. Amazingly, as he was reflecting on his life in his last days, he made this very sobering and tragic statement: “Vanity of vanities…all is vanity” (Eccl. 1:1-15, 12:7-8).

Ok, call me a dreamer, but I have the right to dream don't I? What if we pushed Financed Voter Reform? Calling for restrictions to be placed on those who can vote. In CFR McCain claimed that politicians can't possibly make principled choices when they are receiving money from special interests. To invert that, how can voters possibly make a principled vote when their livelyhood rests on a certain party? If you receive government assistance, how can your vote not be biased? Should employees be able to vote on their wages? (I know our congress critters do this) What if...
