send lawyers, guns and money

[Peter K.]

I'm wondering what the best way to use 
Indecision 2000 as evidence against the 
capitalist system. I think Nader raised many 
good points during his campaign, main point being 
that *both* parties are more responsive to corporate
desires (in exchange for campaign funds) than to 
society at large. Money rules. Is it any wonder that 
"statesmanship" is at something of a discount 
these days?

Is it worthwhile to point out what capitalism has done 
to the culture? (just free associating here) It seems that society 
is based simply on the profit motive and competition. 
Instead of a government of laws, not men, we have 
a government of lawyers, not men. (legal) Knowledge is power.
Instead of "bowling alone" as a sign of the times and the 
sign of a loss of "community," isn't a much better symptom the 
litigiousness of society and the fact people are often forced 
to sue (i.e. Ralph Nader) in order to get a minimum of justice?
