Thanks to Corporate McPravda, Mighty Wurlitzer of the Military-Industrial Complex, the Internet is about the last medium for the free expression and exchange of ideas.

Gee. What would the world be like if only corporations could communicate to the masses?

Why, crooked pols and banksters would walk free and there'd be wars without end that would profit the few.

What a nightmare! Oh, wait a minute...
