Working Up

Kickstarter campaigns raise more money than presidential candidates. Who, if anyone, should be ashamed?

Some Kickstarter campaigns for little gadgets are raising more money than some presidential candidates.

Americans should be ashamed for putting more time and money into silly little gadgets than they do into who will be the next leader of the free world.

Well, maybe not.

Perhaps the shame should fall on those career politicians who have shaped the public’s view of politics and political campaigns.

Then again, perhaps this is just the way it is and shame is not a valid response from anyone. Perhaps realism is the best reply.
