there seem to be a lot of people who suggest that merely because politics involves money, it is therefore corrupt. this is an awfully vague and nebulous line of thinking in my view. are we to suppose that any industry
From: "Vladimir Z. Nuri" <vznuri@netcom.com> that involves money (all of them, of course) inevitably moves in the direction of corruption? perhaps some more "cynicalpunks" may have this view, but I don't share it. --------------------------------- I am admittedly uncertain whether to reply to this, but... one thing about capitalism is that money serves as a reward. Attempts to remove this (such as in the Soviet Union) have resulted in people no longer being motivated by things like bonuses. In other words, if we can remove the government from having influence on the markets, then politics by money is not really a problem. It's just another motivation for people to get more money. -Allen
