I largely agree with Lessig's point about our campaign finance laws being the root of all evil, and I think he's spoken rather intelligently about this in the past. But I'm frankly amazed at how earnestly he speaks about his

It just suggests that we've evolved fears of some, but not all, things which are dangerous to us? An analogy might be, many people are afraid of heights, and fewer people are afraid of water. That's despite the fact that water is
