117. Manifestations of corporate/consumer culture "traditions."
Without finding a national platform to begin addressing the small steps to change this diseased culture, you won't change the predominant cultural mindset - shaped by corporate America.

So what it amounts to is suggesting to children, here's what's correct, a moral truth ... yet here's what prevails in our culture, which is why many of your schoolmates behave as they do, because their parents teach them these specific "values" by perpetuating the corporate culture's "values" via their own cultural indoctrination.

In other words, many of the the things that are taught to children that are sold as "good," "normal," "all American," are actually poison jive that feeds corporate tyrannies.

An uphill battle, to be sure. And yes, I'm a parent.
