In Reply To: Yes, corporations are evil. I agree. The best thing you could do for yourself is go to a place where you will be valued and corporations are put in their proper place. I suggest Cuba . . . you could leave your "corporate" big three automobile here in the US and go over there where . . . you'll get good health care and you can work like a slave to maybe get a chance at a 1950's car that is held together with old welds and rubber bands. Or perhaps China, where if you protest you'll be run over by a tank or thrown in jail, so you could be re-educated as to the evils of corporate America. And as a slave in that educated system you could work in prison making dolls that McDonalds or some other fast food place will give away with "happy meals" to the poor corporate people's kids over here. Every system has a set of rules and to thrive as a thinking human (not BS'ing human) you have to figure out what those rules are and adapt or figure out where you can best fit in. It's apparent that you'll fit in better in one of these other places, from your simplistic gripe session.
Message: Oh my gawd, you are the one who is the 'simplistic' thinker. So, to sum up your thinking, its either be abused by the communist system or be abused by the corporate system, so choose the corporate system, since you will at least be richer?? You mention rules systems and the need to adapt to them. This is true. But you discourage the people's right to "gripe" so that change can be created to those rules systems. And our system needs big change. It still needs to be market based, and freedoms still need to be maintained and enhanced. But there is no freedom in a "free market" without rules to restrain the big guys. When there are no rules, the big guys rule the little guys by the code of might makes right. A person doesn't have only two choices to embrace, corporate rule or communist rule. I reject them both, but am adapting quite well under corporate oppression, thank you. Nevertheless, no matter how successful I am under this system, I will seek to undo it.
