1. HT, you speak like a socialist. And I agree.

Well over a year ago I posted a rant about how I thought it's time that our society changed its paradym to cooperation instead of competition. I got flamed crispy for that. But today it seems more and more people are coming to the conclusion that competition is a zero sum game, like capitalism. In order for me to win, you must lose. That's not a basis for an advancing society.

As it becomes known by the larger population that the corporations are literaly killing us with polution, incredibally expensive health care, and global warming, I'm hoping that we will see a turn around and a demand for a nation that has the welfare of the people in mind, not the welfare of corporations.

But don't get me started. I'm liable to rant all day.

Like removing the theory of 'personhood' from corporations.
Like requiring all stock in corporations to be owned by employees.

ETC,.
