Welcome To Lesterland: A Great Ted Talk by Lawrence Lessig

Founder of Creative Commons and Harvard Professor Lawrence Lessig, has a great Ted talk about a fictional country called Lesterland (named after a Simpsons character), where political realities are held deadlocked by a tiny class of donors who control the electoral process. Of course, it's not really so fictional after all. Without party bias, it explains the current predicament of the United States in a very interesting way. Worried about the "one percent?"
