they need petroleum to make plastic, then manipulate/force man to take axe to orchards, demolish nature, debasing life/living & put at risk our essentials for life, for what? to replace nature w/ factories? "fiat plants", make plastic fruit, replicate nature at natures expense? CORPSe own a peon/puppet show, its anti-life/PRO-CORPSe, for death. fools wear costumes, called uniforms, whats uniform is action, abet fascism. all in costumes cost-u-&-me life/living. must outlaw CORPSe & idiocy.

I did a paper on this for business law... Oil companies are all the same... Just a bunch of assholes.

I agree in principle, but where should I buy by gasoline? I'm not going to go to Chevron ever again, but what oil company is worth "supporting?" (it's not realistic to stop driving for me)

@100inkersell So if there's an oligopoly within said market (OPEC) i.e there is little choice, then all the people who consume oil in some form (petrol/diesel/plastics/etc) is just as evil (even though these practices are unbeknownst to them) as the the corporations themselves? Don't be a retard

@Lexman00 Amen. Bien dicho.

@rwethereyuk Yes together with having a form of direct democracy within the constitution we'd need to end the fed and any other central banks in the world. We need the govt to print money FOR the people not to enslave the people. I have interesting ideas how to do it and i think it can work. there should be no taxation and no obligation to use gvt money (competition of currencies). Finally we need a much smaller role of gvt and no selling the public good and resources to private corporations.

@rwethereyuk well it's even simpler. I would still give the government power to write laws but the citizens will have power to put a veto on them or abolish them. We just need veto power, we don't need to replace the parliament (at least for now). This way gvt will not be able to pass the thousands of unconstitutional laws it passes every year. We r in the internet era such kind of direct democracy is possible. People will return to vote when they see their vote really counts.

@fresniak Radical Change....

Some of what you say, Ok. I wish we could vote on issues..The alert ones would read the bills before casting their vote..Most of the Britney, Lohan & Paris worshipers would not even know a vote was being taken. The lobbists would be out of business. We could vote to open the Fed's books, just before we CAN the Fed. Just for being there, the Feds get 5% of every $ that is printed, but none of the coinage.

Go back to the constitution as it was before W. Wilson.
