Obviously a lesson in english 101 is in order...I never said anything about getting rid of the corperations as institutions in and of themselves...please do read my post as written...going after the politicians is all well and good but, I simpley stateted we shouldnt dabble so much with the middle men as go for the ones who put them in power...the corperate "assholes" (implicating individuals not institutions) who are responsible for placing them there. Change them and change the world.

To find out which corperate assholes we need transparency in who pays to place the politicans in power, which means all of the books of every single politically contributing corperation and its CEO's etc and the books of the politicans themselves should be 100% transparent to the public in every regard period. Keep them that way and a lot of things will change for the better.

And Canyon is quite correct, at least from what I have read and seen, in America at least we do a lot more for the soliders who defend our nation than others. Is it enough? Some would argue yes and others no.

And thir...I agree with you as well...war is bad, and the wests conduct in these wars over rescource aquistion is already deplorable not that the terrorists are "nice" people or anything and using mercenaries imho makes matters worse.
