bush has left a world to our children that we deal with right now. this mess will take decades to fix and clean up. korten stands for a great organizaton on a great mission. what a wonderful speaker of the TRUTH, something bush and clan have no grasp on or dont care about. many dead in a war on lies that could still be here today. hitler never died thanks to bush. the hope is that org's like this one and others can help contribute to a dramatic/drastic turnaround USA drastically needs!

Why is it so RARE to hear the TRUTH? why so many leaders liars?

[PeaceWithTheseEyes]

In "With These Eyes" a young woman is faced with the wrath of industry when she is about to discover the secret behind Quantum Power, a real, sustainable green energy source.

@TheFatzapper:

also: to vote a corporation out you must have a majority share. If I hate - as I do - Monsanto, I can not do anything about it, unless I have a controlling participation in it.

Corporations are not going to build schools, services for the elders, roads, and public services, unless these are useful for them. That's a bit arbitrary, don;t you think?

I mean, really, why am i even answering this questions.....

[justclassicalguitar]

turn off the TV silliness America and listen to this man........

@TheFatzapper - For starters you might want to try reading a representative sampling of the 'mission statements' for the two types of organizations. - Corporations and governments exist to fulfill different purposes.

[TheFatzapper]

What happens when governments rule the world? Why is it:

Big Corporations = bad

Big Government = good

Can anyone explain this logic?

[alettertocongress]

I suggest local currencies.

I have known over my life a good number of politicians & leaders of this country and others, (just visit my MySpace page)

So maybe I can answer your query:

With very little exception, every politician is nearly identical in character to Hollywood actors:

A single-minded drive & need to be "on camera"

And in every case, oddly, all of them are vacuous!

I swear by this phenomenon! Politicians only want to be on cam, & are ignorant intellectually by nature - It's odd!
