                I do enjoy listening to Bill Moyers tongue in cheek  take on politics and culture.

                I agree with him that there are two Americas and those are the two that have emerged.

                I must admit that I have not been, up to now, very knowledgeable about ALEC, but after reading your post, I have spent a lot of time checking out a lot of information about this.  Thank you for giving me the impetus to do that.

                Between ALEC and one of their big "causes" the TTP, I believe unwealthy, hard working, good hearted People are screwed royally. We do see their destructive-to-life-and-liberty handiwork more and more - the privatized prisons, (mass incarceration for non violence)giving climate change deniers a thrill with ALEC sponsored lies, on and on. But maybe shining light into a poisoned well does ferret out some of the rats, so to speak - I did a little googling (I get e mails about ALEC but don't remember or missed this one) and found:
