GUEST,Lizzie Cornish BS: Abe Lincoln and Corporations (74* d) RE: BS: Abe Lincoln and Corporations 10 Jun 12


"In today's world I think corporations are in the forefront of every intractable problem we face."


I disagree entirely. WE are the main problem we face. WE have given rise to the Corporations, buying their goods, making them sickeningly wealthy and powerful.

We have *continued* to do this, turning away from what was staring us straight in the face.

We have the power to bring down the corporations in an instant, purely by NOT buying their goods, by withdrawing savings/money from banks...etc..

The most powerful thing we can do is to state that never again will we, The 99% buy ANYTHING from any corporation unless the can not only PROVE it has been ethically sourced, made and delivered, that their staff are well cared for and decently paid and that they use 90% of the massive profits they've made over the years to put right all the wrongs they have done to Mother Earth..

Failing this, we could do as the brave Indigenous People do and stand in front of vast trucks who want to take our Water, Land, Mountains, Forests, Clean Air etc..and simply refuse to move...

Their time is coming to an end, but it will end much faster if we remove this Bloody Cloak of Apathy which so many have pulled around them for so long...

And to those in the BBC/Smooth Ops who banned me for refusing to obey their order of NOT speaking out on Social Issues, due to it 'upsetting people', I hope you're resting easy in your beds these days....

Yeesh!!
