Face it folks, large corporations run your every day lives. Americans have been complaining about it for years but nothing has changed and nothing will change. Americans are complacent. It would take a global event - much larger than 9/11 - to change anything in America. It seems all you can do is actions such as that above -- the teacher in Tulsa telling all her colleagues about the incident. Grass root efforts may work in a small market but sadly, not on the national stage. 708171@blogcritics.org Mon, 7 Apr 2008 16:51:15 EDT
