Citizens United "The Story of Stuff"... Excellent little piece and some ideas on what can be done about it. Clearly the idea that corporations are entitled to the same rights and privileges as individuals in our country is ridiculous and dangerous and how the supreme court could make a decision with that tone is baffling.
Apathy and disinterest is what's brought us to where we are. I don't think we individually feel strong enough to turn this thing around but we need some to engage in the discussion. We need to educate ourselves and think critically about the information that is disseminated to us as it often comes with a slant and motive. Until we take back our opinions and thoughts from those who are trying to tell us what to think and commit to putting in the time and energy to educate ourselves and visit multiple positions on each issue we will be ruled by the hyperbole and conjecture that gov't and corporations continue to feed us.
If we truly want to protect this country and protect the opportunities that it is designed to provide to our children and grandchildren we can no longer sit idly by and hope that someone else takes care of it. It's time to stand up commit ourselves to the process and work.
