tokaok - I understand where you're coming from, The reason that I used Target and Blockbuster in my rant is because those are the places that I've worked. I've also spent time at Walmart and Toys R Us.
I didn't dislike my job at any of those places, in fact I met some of my best friends there, but as I said before the mentality of the 'heads of corporation' is what gets to me. Somewhere along the way the business stopped being about people at all and all about the almighty dollar. I also think that this mentality has crept into the way the men and women govern our nation (the US.) I was reading recently (somewhere on TFP) how Bush jr is governing the country like big business and that's why he's had much success. . .But at what price does that success come?
I think that when concerning yourself about the needs and rights of a people (and the world's, considering America is a super power and has no problem flashing her guns,) one must ask what the goals of the superstructure are. If the president is running the country like a big business, whose interest does he have in mind?
