For our own and each others sakes, we need to learn how to stop the abuse of power by ourselves and others.

[Reverberation256]

Humans value equality, cooperation, honesty and freedom of individual expression. This is the very core of who we are. This is the essence of our Humanity.

Corporate style mono-culture and allegiance to strict hierarchy are not human values. They stifle us and make us feel wrong for being human. They want us to choose employer over family. They subtly suggest allegiance and submission. These are inhuman values.

They have no respect for our values, no respect for our Humanity!

competition? really? google for "the illusion of choice" and how the Uni ETH Zurich hast shown: only 147 companies own 40% of the wealth of all companies worldwide. But that's not the end. that is only the point where it was not possible to get any more data. so there is good reason to believe that this is only the tip of the iceberg. competiton and choice are an illusion.

139 people like to be manipulated or are the manipulators!

when they talk about corporations they should be more specific and point out that the majority shareholders are the rulers of such corporations and on average they are about 14. so basically a small group of wealthy ppl run the planet.

NO corporations are NOT good!!! Are these people commenting crazy? You think a big business gives two shots about you as a customer? They'd sell you poison if it meant they'd get more money trust me! Big coup orations are the reason everyone's getting fat and getting cancer with all the junk they put in our food and they are master manipulaters yeah business is good for the economy but at what cost? To Them, you're just a number to crunch!!!

[Right2Lefty]

One important point to remember is that in capitalism, it is not just "the corporation", rather the the " the corporations". Capitalism has its roots in competition. The way that people envision capitalism is a single company monopolizing all. That is, in fact, the antithesis of capitalism and one of its few flaws. I do not trust a single corporation over government, but I do trust my ability to pick the corporation that is competing for my best interest in order to make a profit.

Can you do voiceovers for me --- for free? The guy who did this film has put it up on youtube for free. he didnt have to. You DONT have to buy it. It is an important message. If you want to support it you can. Is that not fair? It seems very generous to me. Why is it conservatives are against the environment and responsibility if it means hurting the profits?
