The beginning of a series to make more understandable what we mean by Good Soul Corruption. There will be a long series of these (at least until Congress adopts Citizen Funded Election). They're all going to make the same point: Whether you believe the story we show is evidence that the Member sold out or not, you cannot deny that the story we show is the sort that destroys public trust in Congress. We will make trust possible again only when we make it impossible to believe "money buys results."

March 27, 2009: Presentation at Milan's Meet the Media Guru (they even had t-shirts but I didn't get one), my participating in this series of public lectures in Milan, Italy. A critical punchline in this preso failed -- I wanted to link the kind of political action depicted in the film Gandhi with RT (as in re-tweeting), but Twitter isn't as popular in Italy as I had thought.

A keynote given November 21, 2008, at the University of Chicago's conference "Speech, Privacy and the Internet: The University and Beyond". As described on the conference site, "The conference is devoted to an interdisciplinary discussion of the legal and ethical issues posed by the new ways in which privacy can be invaded." My talk is the first version of a talk I hope to refine over time. Viewers will recognize very little (indeed, nothing save 5 slides at the end) from other presentations. The talk begins with an (over-the-top) introduction by Cass Sunstein.
