		<description>there&#039;s a &quot;cure&quot; for lobbyists: voting. 100% informed voter participation makes it impossible for lobbyists to have any influence whatsoever.

and of course, it&#039;s simplistic to lump all lobbyists together and use it as a pejorative term. plenty of lobbyists are just the mouthpiece for groups of citizens who can&#039;t make the trip to the state/federal government themselves.</description>

		<description>Lobbyists have been around since the 1640&#039;s - and there is still no cure for them?  No way to exterminate them from the face of the planet??</description>
