Reply #34: Why are our leaders so keen to buy the unproven technology

[JohnyCanuck]

against the wishes of consumers?

My best guess: The unproven technology means millions of dollars in profits for big multi-national coporations and, as a general rule, few politician ever get elected or remain in office by getting on the wrong side of big, multi-national corporations. Hence corporate interests trumps consumer interests.

The Corporation

I believe this is one of the best and most important documentary films to be made in many years.

This is an extraordinary film about the creation of the American corporation, its legal organizational model, its global economic dominance and its psychopathic tendencies, and its incredible ambition to influence every aspect of culture in its unrelenting pursuit of profit.
