Opinions for money
I have received mailings from political parties and companies representing political interests. And, most recently from AARP asking me to sign petitions. These businesses, because politics is a business, want opinions or petition's signed. They really want to know what you think. When you give your opinion you must also send in whatever amount of money they request. So, it seems, that your opinion is only as important as the amount of money you are willing to give.. Something is wrong with that.
