We are hearing a lot these days about political "transformation" in politics. Aside from a desire for a change in policy, the public also indicates that they desire a change in the way our politics are conducted. But as much as everyone likes the idea of an end to partisan squabbling, it's not entirely clear yet how this transformation will take place, or what the character of the transformation will actually be. So naturally, the political establishment, anxious to have it on terms they can control, will increasingly be taking the lead in defining it for us

What to change? I like how the Oregon legislature does it. Ever law / bill passed has to deal with only ONE thing. If it doesn't the state supreme court can (and does) step in and declare it dead. Seems a lot of pork would be done with if that were adopted in the US Congress. If it works for a state it could work for a nation. (Oh - they have death with dignity, medical marijuana, vote by mail, no sales tax, lower property/vehicle taxes than two other states that I have lived in and register at the DMV too )
Haven't heard from Sam Harris this year at all. The article about what you've changed your mind about 2008 was written before the new year. He came out with a study but haven't seen him in videos or essays talking about it which surprises me. I wonder what he's doing right now.
