+After listening to lecture, do you believe interest groups are dangerous
+or are they a productive part of the political process in United States?
+
+Interest groups are value-neutral: they are just a way of organizing
+individuals into "factions."
+An environmentalist voter holds a proportional amount of power if they
+donate to political candidates and advocate independently or organize
+with a group.
+The same holds for businesses, farmers, and pro-gun voters.
+However, they are dangerous and though they can't be limited explicitly,
+the government needs to manage the power their constituent groups hold.
+If businesses are consistently pushing for anti-labor policy, the
+government needs to limit the power of businesses.
+Their interest groups should still be maintained as a useful touchpoint
+for the government.
