Bryon,
You can blame corporations, you can blame presidents, or any body or thing you choose. Your arguement that it's the corporations, holds as much water as someone elses arguement that it's politicians.
Soviet Union, United States, Venezuela, Mexico, England, does'nt make a damn bit of difference what form of government, without honor, ethics, morals, and just plain good upbringing, greed is going to be present. No one wants to say that. No one wants to put the blame where it belongs. It's the same arguement used for gun control. It's the gun's fault, never mind the person who pulled the trigger. The same arguement that people sue over, it was McDonalds fault someone spilt hot coffee in their lap, anything and everything but putting the fault squarely where it lies. Society and personal responsibility.
I call BULLS***. It's like shooting the cow because it delivered sour milk. Never mind that for years the farmer neglected the cow, and feed it crappy molded hay.
The corporations are nothing more and nothing less but a product of society gone wrong. We teach children that big brother is there to protect you, that questioning the government is wrong, that everything is right unless it's politically incorrect.
We are painted as demons if we dare stand up for moral and ethical values contrary to the current flavor of the day socially. We are painted as demons for trying to teach our children right from wrong and slowly but surely are being told only the government can do that.
We are treated as if we are morons, who do not have the ability to survive without the government, nor the ability to think for ourselves.
The people who run the government, who run the corporations, all are about instant satisfaction. The government reacts to it's owners (the people) by the most expediant answer, not the best answer or the right answer. The corporations react to it's owners, the shareholders, by doing what gives the most profit to them in the shortest term.
It has become a society of instant gratification and God help any who stand in the way of that.
The sad but true news is, hard work, ethical work, honorable work is the only way out. Instant satisifaction is the road to disaster that we are on and without a fundemental change in the moral and ethical fabric of this country, and the world, NOTHING, is going to change.
Throw your darts, spit your venom, it will not change the reality of that. You and every other liberal out there on a constant demon hunt for the culprit should look to the mirror. There are the persons at fault. If you bought at walmart, or any other corporation who excercised fast and loose business practices, or sold out their employees to overseas holders, or anything other than being run in an ethical, moral and concience manner, you are at fault. If you voted only for those who said the right words regardless of the politicians track record, or voted someone in who had been caught cheating already, or any way shape or fashion showed themselves to be dishonorable people, you are at fault.
Not the guns, not the corporations, not the drugs, not the cars, emissions, or whatever flavor of demon it may be that day, YOU, and everyone else who has feed the beast of immoral, unethical, and dishonorable actions.
ONLY, when people start holding themselves individually responsible for their part and start Doing something about it, and ONLY then, will there be any substaintial change for the better.
and to think some people voted for 'Change'
The bad thing about all this Crap and Trade it's based on Theory of Global Warming, thats BS to be passing bills on.
