So, from the initial 700,000 some views on the first part of this video, we end with under 100,000.

i'm getting of my chair and doing something, who's with me!

@happymand I can't disagree with you, you are right, it's just after watching the video you would think that there is no way out, but there is, it's just as you said "many of the population would not support", then it's not that important for society now when the rates of getting cancer is only 1 per every 3 person. Probably, when our kids or their kids would start develop a third eye, degenerative ovaries, blindness or similar, would the society understand the problem and head to the action

[happymand]

@FotoKadr Yeah but that's a hugely bureaucratic undertaking that I don't think many of the population would support. The main problem is that we are underinformed. If we knew about some of the ways big corporations evade the law, we would voice it more. But honestly, with the media being a huge corporation itself, those voices are lost in the wind.

@happymand I don't think they are that powerful at all without government as their bodygaurd. They just think they can get away with more.

[happymand]

@htiberian Yeah I mean it is government who grant these powers, but it is definitely a problem resulting from extreme capitalism, giving too much powers to big business.

[htiberian]

@happymand Yes, but the government allows them to exist. Government gives them unatural protection with which otherwise they could not get away with the many crimes they commit. Remember the Supreme court grants them the legal status of "personhood".

[happymand]

@htiberian I suppose so but governments still have laws that the corporations must follow. You forget about the criteria that psychopaths purposefully break laws without thinking of the consequence. It is not an effect of government that corporations purposefully break laws to make money.

and those that are gone under inspection could be certificated and approved that would be much better for an average consumer than buying some shit from China. Those that would not be gone under certification would instantly drop in value, since consumers would be skeptical to buy from someone who hides information about the content you consume, wear, sniff or snort (lol) and soon be out of business or would have to go under thorough inspection. They created United Nations after WWII...

I liked documentary so much!!! The only thing that I didn't like was that there was no real solution proposed. If the government and public can't control an environmental impact from corporations and big industries why there could be not created a global unbiased third party organization that would monitor, control and report the results of their research to the public. It's nice that cigarettes or drugs have a warning information, why could it not be done on each product being made

@Chinuru200k . My Comp Sci friend says, "I tried Shazam and SoundHound, but neither of them were able to find the song. Either the voice over the music is screwing it up, or the song is so obscure it's not able to find it."

@Chinuru200k A few years ago, I downloaded the screenplay or some kind of official document and went through every single track listed, the only group that sounded like they might have made the track was a band called "Uzume Taiko" I friended them on Facebook and asked if they made the track. They never replied. I asked a Computer Science student to Shazam the track, she didn't get back to me yet. I might try and download the software to my Blackberry and see if I can get a match.
