15. I'm happy that GM has rebounded but it's not alive, it never was, it's just a corporation.

I hate seeing this intermingling of human life and corporate existence as being one and the same, even if it's just sound bite or bumper sticker talk.

That's the problem with the "Citizens United" decision and the rise of corporate supremacy over the people and their representative government since the late 19th century.

Thanks for the thread, kpete.
