Internet Villian of the Year and a good list of runner-ups. As proof that money influences politics, note that the issues aren't scammers, spammers, child porn, or political/social extremism. It's "copyright" issues.
Modified my life goals: I want to be rich enough to be considered eccentric, poor people are just plain crazy. I now also want to be rich enough to influence politics, in eccentric ways :)

Perhaps you meant "eccentric"?
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
