Most companies give MORE to reps than Dems.

One reader pointed out that opensecrets includes donations from employees who give more than $200, not just the bigwigs or the PAC. You can also check the PACs to see how they stack up. Most follow the entire companies' patterns. For instance, Wal-Mart's PAC gave 78 percent to Republicans. Pacs from Target, Sears, McDonald's, Wendy's, and others also gave more to reps.

One that didn't follow how the company donated was Shell, whose PAC gave more to reps. But since every other oil company's employees gave more to reps, Shell would be the lesser of the evils. Or buy a hybrid.

"We are in the midst of a profound change of paradigms: from seeing the world as a machine to understanding it as a network. Rob Kall has interviewed many of the leaders, both thinkers and activists, of this global cultural transformation. In this eminently readable book, he weaves their statements, values, and ideas into a coherent and inspiring whole. Bottom-Up is a joy to read!"
