(2,382 posts)... is an obscenity. But, as we become distracted by looking at this through a kaleidoscope of corruption, we are missing the larger issue that rules every breath of business in this country, and indeed, the world: CORPORATISM. It is the most evil socioeconomic and political phenomenon in human history. Like every cancer, it is intent on destroying its host, and it must be excised by whatever means necessary; we are running out of time.
But its proponents and apologists must be exposed and discredited with FACTS, not fabrications. We cannot allow the billionaires at the top of the food chain to influence the education of our children though indoctrination or misrepresentation. As George Carlin observed decades ago, they do not want intelligent, independent critical thinkers, they want obedient drones, or words to that effect.
Comcast is only one of thousands of companies that systematically crush independent voices. They all know that resentment and resistance is growing; just look at Bernie's success. And that is one of the reasons they are so determined to throttle the only method of free and open communication left to us: The Internet. If they control that, they kill us. Do not let them kill us.
Thus endeth my rant. I need more coffee.
