ability to confront corporate crime in any way is a sign of fascism.

We will hold demonstrations this weekend and vote Tuesday, which will feel good, but we need to have a focused strategy to confront the corporations as a nation. They are undermining the foundation on which every other aspect of our society is built. It is apparent that the problem of corporate takeover is not being addressed by our representatives to any significant degree, so what are we left with to do?

France held a strike, and I think that at some point we will have to put a wrench in the corporate wheel to stop it from turning. I think most people cringe at the thought of a confrontation, but it has to happen at some point. I have wondered if it has to be an international effort, since the corporations are international. The US has to unify behind this issue, it is not partisan.

This is a problem that is obviously beyond the scope of the executive branch, and elected officials, to speak out about it is political suicide.

I post about this so often I feel I am a broken record...have a great weekend :)
