The Humeidity Index

How much is one voters vote worth? Not much. How much are many voters votes worth? A bit.
How much is the value of corporate lobbying? See below.

The take away? Voters are maliable. While your voice and your concerns are valid, the marketing machine that convinces your neighbors to inform you that your beliefs are invalid, is unstoppable.

What is your take away? How should constituents develop ties to their representatives that are stronger than those of the lobbyists? Please tell me in the comments.

Repeated study of human psychology shows a natural desire to want something more, if someone threatens to take it away. Additional studies of human psychology show an aversion to desire, if intellectual obstacles hinder access. With these understandings, why isn't gun control regulated by education requirements? We do not allow a person use a the most popular killing tool, an automobile, without proper training; so why let someone own a gun without proving their ability to responsibly use and maintain it? Tell me your thoughts in the comments.
