I think we should stop saying "lobbying" and start saying "corruption" or "bribing" isntead

I see what you're getting at, but by saying either and meaning "lobbying", we're fighting their side for them, allowing it to expand by being obtuse. We deserve better. "Lobbying" has become lobbying, and calling it what it is names it.
