Until campaign finance and lobbying reform occur, no other meaningful changes could be made. This might be a good step 2.

That may be true for some physical objects, but not for things like a secure retirement, protection from crippling health-care bills, and secure (non-bank-owned, non-landlord-owned) housing. There are vast and real inequalities there.

"Lenny" is a hilarious set of recorded messages designed to waste telemarketers' time."

I wonder why they decided not to ask for weight:

<!--<div class="form-segment weight-form-segment">

		    	<label for="weight" class="up white small">Weight</label>
		    	<div class="form-segment-input">
		    	
		    	<select class="form-input" name="weight" id="weight">
		    	
		    	</select>
		    	</div>			    
				<span class="form-display stat-detail-default detail-weight"></span>
		    
		    </div> !-->
