Larry Lessig

It’s pretty rare that I use this blog as a place to help campaign for a political candidate. If I did that too much, you might run away and never come back. But this time, it’s worth it.
I’ve been staying away from the Presidential election because I don’t want to get sucked in to it.. I feel like I have better things to do with my life. But from the first time I saw Larry Lessig speak on some youtube video about creative commons after undergrad and read one of his short books, I thought he was amazing. And SUCH a dynamic speaker — I just love his presentation style.
Larry announced that he might be running for Congress- but for completely different reasons than most people run for Congress. As a matter of fact, he’s NOT EVEN SURE he wants to run…. (watch the video.. You’ll see what I mean)
So I’m not advocating that you jump the bandwagon and cheer for Larry. But the fact that it’s 3 am Chicago time and I’m sitting here writing this of all things should be some testament to this guy’s aptitude.
