Dude, Stop talking to me like I'm an Ayn rand republican. I am no!! I agree with you that corporation and greed and the fu*&&ng elite screwed it up for all of us. But the solution is not to burn every book and go back to the jungle, the solution is to have a critic mass of evolved people that THINK and move the rest of the mass in that direction, and to do that you do need technology, like for example this forum or the thousands of books that I now have available to me that I did not before. That ain't bad. fairbanks wrote:"...There is a notion gaining credence that the Free Market breaks down national barriers, and that Corporate Globalization's ultimate destination is a hippie paradise where the heart is the only passport and we all live happily together inside a John Lennon song. (" Imagine there's no country..."  But this is a canard. What the Free Market undermines is not national sovereignty, but democracy. As the disparity between the rich and poor grows... Corporate Globalization needs an international confederation of loyal, corrupt, preferably authoritarian governments in poorer countries to push through unpopular reforms and quell the mutinies...not the free movement of people, not a respect for human rights, not international treaties on racial discrimination or chemical and nuclear weapons, or greenhouse gas emissions, climate change, or god forbid, justice.."
