I couldn't have said it better myself Fmeh. I try to do my small part in dealing with corporate greed. For example I don't purchase mainstream media. I don't buy CDs or DVDs, I shop online for music, I support artists who use the internet as a way to get their music out. I rent movies when I have to see them or wait for stuff to hit HBO. I stopped going to movie theaters years ago because it's just not worth the money.
It's probably not hurting their bottom line any but it gives me a little but of pride knowing I didn't HAVE to go out and buy that new CD or DVD or Xbox, whatever it is just because someone told me.
Think of all the good you could do with the money spent on marketing and lobbying for that matter if it was channeled into something more productive.

How true this is. What a good point Prin makes. In a standard corporate enrivonment, the top 10% of the company staff gets 90% of the consideration, which is pretty f
g rich when you consider that without all of us 'little' people down here busting it out all the time, no one would have gas in their cars or cheeseburgers at the drive through.
The funny thing is that even though we all seem to know what's going on, we just don't care. We adopt the attitude that we can't affect change and so instead we continue to feed our money into the corporate media engine which even goes so far as to tell us who are heros and stars are anymore. With all the idol this and you can dance that, there is no end to the amount of money they are making with this garbage we are inundated with (I'm way off topic here aren't I? )
I totally had a brain blip and forgot what in the hell i was typing. Maybe I'll remember later. haha
