It seems that big business has gained the power to control most of what goes on and most new legislation has the smell of bigger corporate profits. It has been said that "money makes the world go round" but how many of us feel that something is way out of wack? Our economies are in decline and the gap between the "haves" and "have nots" is getting bigger. We can't hardly buy anything from our supermarkets that haven't been genetically engineered to look good and have reduced food value and have been sprayed with who-knows-what chemical soup, picked very green and then gassed to speed ripening at market. Not to mention that they have been transported thousands of miles in deisel guzzeling trucks to an area that has it's own local growers. One example: we see apples from New Zealand in our Canadian grocery stores (now I got nothing against the country or its people) while our local apple orchardists can't get enough for their apples to hire the pickers to harvest them, so they fall to the ground and rot. Maybe there is a better ideal to base our systems on besides money. The"Occupy Wall Street" people know that our present way of running things is unsustainable in the long run and offers a bleak future for the common man. God help us!
