Re: Which 6 Companies Control 90% Of What You Read, Watch, And Listen To?
That is why the world looks so strange now. Kids are programmable and they have been bombarded with MTV for 20 years now. Things began looking weird in the 80s and have just gotten worse. I have to wonder how futuristic stuff from the 60s was really how futuristic. Looking back the wrong turn started in the 70s and maybe just began becoming obvious in the 70s from a retrospective point of view. So maybe we need for kids to read stuff that was outside the mainstream even before 1977. It looks...

If it is just a matter of surveying with satellites and airplanes how much can be done. Nothing can be dons about satellites. In fact if the people sending up the satellites do not tell us what they do there is no way to know. How much do African countries control, regulate and enforce what is done in the airspace. How do you tell what instruments are onboard an airplane? How many Black geologists are there? Xum

I was also thinking about the permanent underclass issue,NSpirit. And not to mention the current tax breaks for the wealthy and for businesses, and the stimulus money they are still receiving. Yet you have Tea Party groups who go out and can show up in DC, who don't work or have little employment to protest on behalf of these corporations. There is definitely a meritocracy going on.
