One comment in the article made me wonder. If Chiquita over threw a democracy and I know that Coca-Cola has been involved with some shady dealings. Republicans are usually financed by corporations. Is the disregard for the democracy in this country is it fueled by these companies? And what makes people think it can't happen here? Time to go after and declare that corporations are not people.
