America, the Corporatocracy: ``A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.'' MLK, Jr . ~~ "The disposition to admire, and almost to worship, the rich and the powerful, and to despise, or, at least, to neglect persons of poor and mean condition, though necessary both to establish and to maintain the distinction of ranks and the order of society, is, at the same time, the great and most universal cause of the corruption of our moral sentiments.” Adam Smith
