1) No, not 'In the sense that all human activity is political', but, rather, in
the sense that governmental activity is political.  I gave the specific example
of the case of the FCC, and indicated where you could find other examples.
It's good policy to read what you attempt to respond to; try it some time.
2) In the concluding section, I implicitly acknowledged that money is a form of
power; I also made some important points about the distinctions among various
forms of power.  It's good policy to read what you attempt to respond to; try
it sometime.
