Larry Lessig definitively has my vote.

It is just inconvenient, that I am not an US-American. But if he would run for election in my country, I would give him my vote.

The reason: He really takes democracy seriously -- some thing, that I would not attest to most people in our government -- and definitively not to the leading politicians of most political parties in my country.

That is the reason, I fear that democracy is bound to fail -- and to be replaced by corporate ruling (in fact, we are already at this point, where corporations have much more power than politicians or voters).
