11. Everything is contaminated
Edited on Fri Jun-08-07 07:43 PM by undergroundpanther
Just a matter of DEGREE as to HOW contaminated it is. It is because we let corporations run our lives, and let them have the means of production and claim OWNERSHIP over it, WE let corporate secrecy and proprietary info be kept from us at the owners will.

We do not disobey leaders or bosses enough, we submit and scrape like a serf begging for a raise..We were taught obedience is virtue from our parents,then it was reinforced in church and school. We as a people are broken by the systems of control,and tamed, terrified of losing what we think we have..We fail at whistle blowing and watching out for each other because we are bound by the nuclear family model and it has ATOMIZED us and So fucking concerned over our OWN children's welfare..While we are forced to compete against each other in the market and work so we never have TIME to question the corporate rule and government intrusions into our lives..We hide from this fact in "entertainment"..We lie to ourselves about how we have let corporations dominate the way we live think and feel..They control what we eat and how,soon it will be how much too... Corporations control our lifestyles,by offering a bunch of choices THEY chose before we even had time to think of what WE may want.They tell us what to desire and they make the products to fill that manufactured desire.. They regulate our living and public spaces..Did corporations consult people in the 50's when they took over small farms and began to freeze fresh produce? No they hooked people on the idea of convenience. Give me death or give me convenience.. Yeah..Look where that game got us...
