A Friday thought about corporations

I posted this on a discussion on the American Health Care debate on Growing Bolder.

In the world today the Corporations are the rulers. With massive profits they can spend what is necessary through lobbies, the media and through private inducements; enough money to control not only Governments but through its fear campaigns the people of the world.

To rise above this horrendous and constant control is something that will take the People to do. We are really in a different kind of war right now that does not take weapons but takes grassroots upheaval to resist being controlled in this way.

Without the huge financial resources of our enemy we can only hope that forums like this and the open networks on the Web will be our way to gather strength to fight this enemy. We do this by learning there are simpler ways of being and that new cars and more chattels do not make happier people.

Live simply and with thought and watch how we will change not only ourselves but the world about us.
