The real problem of "information" is a limitation of reality.

We don't know the future; and can NOT compare two different "what ifs". What if Gore had won? What if Bush wins? In advance.

But term limits would be a good start to get better info into discussion.

I think the Dems could score an interesting PR coup if they came up with a reality TV show to select their candidate, against some
entrenched old Republican. The novelty exposure, especially, might evan make the race close. (I don't think it would work for a Rep.)

Many devout Christians rightly condemn the materialistic and consumeristic societies, where church and even spirit have been separated from daily life. Excessive luxury-based hedonism, devoid of any meaning in life, is a tradegy all too often seen in rich Western countries.

And capitalism, based on property rights & rule of law, have allowed such excessive free will mistakes. But too many Christian social reformers want to correct the hedonism, before there is basic poverty alleviation.

The Acton Institute seems to be taking the lead in supporting reasonable material comfort, without separating the spirit, the sacred, the meaningfulness of life.

If Christians ARE to be involved in the public & government debates, there also needs to be work done on what taxes are more or less moral, and why.

I argue that pollution taxes, for instance, are less immoral than income taxes. (Therefore, Christians should support gas taxes to get higher income tax refunds.) On the spiritual side � all advertising has, as part of its message to buy something, the other message that �buying things� creates happiness. This advertising lie, often including the sexiest of pictures, is a spiritual pollution.
