Hi Platt

You've never seen the Atlantic Ocean either, unless
you've been in space. Yes I mean voting, or being
politically active, working as an opinion former,
making a big donation. Of course you vote for a form
of life by the way you spend/use your money, and some
of us have more votes than others. 

Should we all be more accountable, should anyone
with spending over say $100,000 have to publich public accounts?
