Yeah, I don't think shame is a particularly viable motivator. It takes a long time to lose the weight to move from obese to not-obese, so slow and steady is the way to go, but when you moralize the issue people aren't going to be satisfied with losing a couple pounds per month over the course of a year or…

You've made a huge mistake.

The short answer (and I'm not really that cynical about money in politics) is that the Koch Brothers spend a lot of money on politics, and they do so by funding some rather notable conservative/libertarian political organizations, most prominently the Cato Institute, which they basically cofounded, while also doing…

Well, there's a difference between being partisan and being ideological. A lot of movies which try to be bipartisan end up getting into this weird Thomas Friedman-y lame centrist area.
