Reply #10: Corporations are not abstractions.

[Big Blue Marble]

They are organizations of people. People with extreme amounts of power and wealth. They distribute
this power and wealth to their advantage. It is right to hold them accountable, for at this time they are at the forefront
of destroying our lives, our environment and this planet. They are rapacious and nearly unstoppable.

It is so easy to say regulate them. They have spent the last 50 years dismantling all the safeguards that were in place to regulate them.
They have staffed the government agencies with their underlings. They have filled the legislatures with their representatives.

It is so facile to say educate the people. They have spend billions to "educate" the people and continue to do so with
their slick advertising and multi-media propaganda.

We are facing a deluge of power unseen in human history . A deluge that has spread across the globe, one that has
allegiance to no nationality or humanity only to the profit motive.

Corporations are the source of the problem, not tangential to it.
