More From Lawrence Lessig

If you spend your own money on yourself, you care how much you spend and how well you spend it. if you spend your own money on someone else, you care how much you spend, but you don't care how well it is spent. if you spend someone else's money on yourself, you don't care how much you spend, but you do care how well it is spent. and finally, if you spend someone else's money on someone else, you don't care how much you spend, and you don't care how well it is spent. that is government.
Government Care Wells
There are three major political organizations in this country: the republican party, the democratic party and the koch brothers party. with billions to spend on campaigns. think tanks and 'educational' organizations, the koch brothers are the most powerful. we must overturn citizens united, move to public funding of elections and pass real tax reform.
Country Brother Powerful
Everybody complains about pork, but members of congress keep spending because voters do not throw them out of office for doing so. the rotten system in congress will change only when the american people change their beliefs about the proper role of government in our society. too many members of congress believe they can solve all economic problems, cure all social ills, and bring about worldwide peace and prosperity simply by creating new federal programs. we must reject unlimited government and reassert the constitutional rule of law if we hope to halt the spending orgy.

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?
Money Night Crowds
As a result of the citizens united supreme court decision, american democracy is being undermined by the ability of the koch brothers and other billionaire families. these wealthy contributors can literally buy politicians and elections by spending hundreds of millions of dollars in support of the candidates of their choice. we need to overturn citizens united and move toward public funding of elections so that all candidates can run for office without being beholden to the wealthy and powerful.
Running Brother Powerful
I am big supporter of the idea of a global anti-corruption movement - but one that begins by recognizing that the architecture of corruption is different in different countries. the corruption we suffer is not the same as the corruption that debilitates africa. but it is both corruption, and both need to be eliminated if the faith in democracy is not going to be destroyed.

The tastes of country music fans are not limited to the narrow range defined by consultants and programmers and record company moguls.
Country Fans Moguls
A man may have to die for our country: but no man must, in any exclusive sense, live for his country. he who surrenders himself without reservation to the temporal claims of a nation, or a party, or a class is rendering to caesar that which, of all things, most emphatically belongs to god: himself.

And, moreover, when it happens that both are sincere and good, nothing will mix and amalgamate more easily than an old priest and an old soldier. in reality, they are the same kind of man. one has devoted himself to country upon earth, the other to his country in heaven; there is no other difference.
Country Reality Men
We are, if territory and population be looked at together, one of the great countries of the world - a monster country, one might say, along with others such as china, india, the recent soviet union, and brazil. and there is a real question as to whether "bigness" in a body politic is not an evil in itself, quite aside from the policies pursued in its name.
