but is good for the corporation. It will only stop when the use of our public airwaves are regulated to prevent its use for spreading propaganda. People often do things when working for a corporation that they would never do as an individual, and I believe one of our biggest legal flaws is equating an individual and a corporation. In speaking with the local gardener/philosopher, he said the last stage of capitalism is State Monopoly Capitalism where the role of government is to protect the corporation. I hope we are not there and may still rein in corporate powers and the public at large finally understands the 'market' is not free but needs to be regulated for a just society to exist.
