To bring this back on topic I contend that corporate dominance is nowhere
more evident that in the food we eat and the farms that produce it. But
IMHO getting control over the politicians and corporations is DOA. They own
the country and the government. They are the government.

Our employment and credit and spending are the lifeblood of the corporate
state, and without all that it shrivels up. We're born in a corporate
hospital under corporate health insurance, we're schooled to be good
corporate citizens, we work for corporations, we buy houses built by
corporations on mortgages held by corporations, we drive cars made and sold
by corporations, we eat food grown, poisoned, and sold by corporations, and
we die with corporate life insurance and get buried in a corporate box.

My small contribution is to encourage those who aren't lobotomized yet to
become more self reliant in more self sufficient communities, and live more
below the radar. They can't tax the food we grow to eat and can't put bar
codes on our carrots ;-)
