I have a Juneau friend (philosophy major, Bill D) who says she knows that the ONLY thing that will get this country onto a different track, morally, ethically, sustainably, is to rein in the Corporations. She may be right- I remember not too many years ago when monopolies were broken up by the US government on the rationale that too much money and marketplace power held in too few hands was not good for the country.

Nowadays it is not only winked at but held up as an example of the 'American Way'.
