28. For those of you who've either forgotten or not experienced Lord of the Flies...

Here's a synopsis:

I recall reading the book in junior high school and realizing that my fellow classmates were capable of such madness without the protective cocoon of civilization to temper them.

The corporate raider mentality that brought Mittens his conscienceless hundreds of millions of dollars is hauntingly familiar in the light of this book's theme. Part of the problem with unsupervised, cannibalistic capitalism in this country is that the "boys" run wild and do as they wish at the expense of the vulnerable and defenseless. The boulder, Piggy, and the conch are symbols we must not forget when we examine the madness and mayhem of modern cold-blooded leveraged buyouts.
