text: What a grossly pathetic charade this entire brouhaha about political fund raising is:  in BC, Ontario and at the federal level.  Change the rules six ways from Sunday and it won't make the slightest bit of difference to the morality of those involved.
  
  Those who want to acquire influence over government will find a way to do it, regardless of any rule.  It has ever been thus, since the first clans held meetings in caves.
  
  The hoi polloi are never, ever going to get a straight count.  Forget about it.
