Simply saying, "I am sorry" or "I am saddened by your loss’ is adequate. Often merely a firm handshake, an embrace, a kiss, the sympathy in your eyes or even tears communicate better than a rehearsed speech.

But I don’t want my money in volved.” As long as the majority of us feel this way, our political pro cess is going continue to rest on its swampy foundation—and sink deeper and deeper into the kind of slime that surrounds government anytime things that belong to the public are up for sale. Here is the hard fact: Our candidates for high office don’t have a chance to win unless they are rich and willing to spend their own money—or can raise big bucks from people with money. There are two critical prob lems with this situation. First, to raise sufficient funds for the big races, candidates have to spend most of their time—almost all of it—raising ( mpney. This means, of course, that they mostly hear the con cerns of a select few people who have money. ( Second, people who give big , campaign contributions often expect something in return. Sometimes, it is just to get something good for the com munity, like a road or a state activity or building. Or it might be for an open door, just in case something goes wrong. But it might be to get some favorable treatment for a business or group of businesses—a tax ex^. emption or a revision in re strictive regulations, some thing that may or may not be in the interest of the general pub lic. For most of us, a campaign contribution of a thousand dol lars is beyond what we could think about making. But for someone who needs things from government, a con tribution of many thousands of dollars is nothing—if it leads to a change in taxes or regula tions that will mean millions of dollars in savings to the one who gave or raised the money. As long as the rest of us stand an the side lines and refuse to et our taxpayer money help 'inance the process, we will awn less and less of it. And those who need things 'rom government and are wili ng to pay for it with campaign xantributions will gain more ind more control.
