Response to Original message
5. Agreed.
Thank you! I've hated that word, "consumer," since its first use.

Words have specific meaning and the constant reference to citizens as "consumers" says very clearly what the corporatists truly think of us.

Let's fight back! Let's tell the world what we think of being called "consumers." Let's take back our proper title and role as pro-active citizens the way we are taking back our pride in being liberals.

I'm a liberal and a participating citizen, and proud of it!
