Subject: Obit: The privatized McNation
Mega Corp with the help of psychotic consumerism is reaching the ultimate heights of capitalism which in the final chapter will kill democracy the American dream and the benefits of capitalism itself.
The unintended consequences; of children losing nature to video games or monopolies controling the all Anna Nichol cable news networks and having our goverment agencies privatized and roads sold into private toll roads, are secondary to profit. The erosion of democracy and anti trust laws are justified as "we are just satisfying our stock holders".
No single political party is to blame. It was Clinton who removed the last vestige of the media being required to serve the public as originally put into law in the 1930's and allowed the privatization of all braodcast news. IT was Reagan who removed the fairness and equal time doctrine.
In a book titled "Consumed" the enevitable outcome of our current McNational policies and mentalities is clearly spelled out.
Now to go a step beyond the book and liik at the privatization of goverment jobs, legislative oversight, the prisons, the courts, the electronic ELECTIONS but how about privatizing the ofice of the President.
I'm surprised Rove hasn't thought of making an executive order that privatizes the presidency and makes it immune to oversight by Congrees the courts and the Constitution.
