was going to run an essay contest with this question, but have postponed. So I thought I would just ask our amazing DU'ers their thoughts on this incredibly important question.

Looking forward to your responses.

(OneBillionRising stands for the one in three women worldwide who will experience sexual/physical violence in her lifetime.)

*Patriarchy: a system of society or government in which men hold the power, and women are primarily excluded.

Strengthen & enforce ALL ethics violations to the max!

Make engaging in conflicts of interest punishible by a minimum of life in prison withput parole for betraying public trust.

Just a few ideas that would serve to make the political gravy train less attractive to scum.
