For years I never questioned the idea (ideal?) of the US form of free enterprise.
Only there's nothing free about this 'free enterprise' system. The system is based on greed and power. The aim of all this freedom is for those in power to charge you and me the most they can while delivering the least possible. A concurrent aim is for those in power to keep everyone else out of the system so that the enterprise is free and profitable to them alone.
Freedom is for the few and the rest of us are slaves who can die writhing in pain and ignored on an emergency room floor. Not only are we slaves but we are brainwashed so thoroughly that we trust the companies who sell us poison to feed to our pets.
And we never really get mad about all this do we. Not all of us. Not even many of us. It's so much easier to watch the corporate media than read about what is really happening to the country we love ...
Here's another one of those pernicious articles with devastating facts for us to ignore while corporate America fills all available space with soothing messages about how much they care about us and how much we should just trust them: Why Is the Pet Food Industry Killing Our Pets? by Ann Martin, Earth Island Journal
