Ultimately, the answer is for us, the real human citizens of the US, to not fear the corporations, but to remind them that they should fear us. Without us, they couldn't exist.

How do we do this?

If we're workers, we organize. If we're consumers, we buy and/or bank locally whenever possible. If we keep our money away from the large multinational corporations, we will be able to keep it in our local communities. That could possibly initiate a need for workers and, also, possibly help local economies. If local economies begin to thrive again, it's possible that the national economy will look better from what has been referred to as Main Street.

Courage does not manifest itself in flags, bombs dropped from miles above a target or tea bags. Courage manifests itself in actions, actions that may not be comfortable at first or may never be comfortable. But those actions can make this a better world for our children and our childrens' children, the real humans who will be inhabiting this world in the future.

To friendship,

Michael

"The Right has done such a superb job of organizing itself that the lower end of the conservative scale doesn't even realize its being screwed by the few elites at the top of the dung heap." Paul Richard Harris
