You know, one does wonder about freedom sometimes. The whole US crisis appears to me to be brought on from the point in history when a smart lawyer was able to make a corporation have the same rights as a human. From that moment on, 'human-corps' (human corpses?) roamed the world feeding on every opportunity it could find with absolutely no natural ethical constraints.
I was reminded of this by a news piece that came in this morning. Nestle corporation (yes, the ones that sell powdered milk to third world mothers et al) or, more specifically, Nestlé Waters North America is threatening to sue Miami-Dade County in southern Florida if it continues to run a radio ad featuring a talking faucet that promotes the county’s tap water over bottled water.
So let me get it straight. DON'T rock the boat if you want to stay solvent, especially when you stand in the way of the mighty petrodollar. After all, that's what the bottled water industry is about. Selling petroleum based plastic bottles and adding water to the sale as a 'sweetener'!
