Do you have any examples of said agencies that haven't been
captured?  Former and future Big Energy executives and
lobbyists run the FERC, insurance executives run the state
insurance commissions (jeezus that is a mess in TX), and
they're gonna appoint Daniel Pipes to the Institute for
Peace!

Don't get me wrong, litigitocracy isn't my favorite model
for organizing a society, but Ralph does have a point.
