| When George Bush and other capitalists speak of bringing freedom to the world you must understand that they do not mean freedom in the sense that most of us understand it. They are speaking from the perverted, oddly-skewed language of capitalism. By freedom they do not mean the spread of democracy or the liberation of oppressed peoples. They mean the unfettered access to markets through the use of coercive military and economic force. The majority of the world conceives of freedom in human terms. Capitalists conceive of freedom in terms of access to markets by any necessary means and absolute dictatorial rule. This is the face of free markets and fair trade as it relates to human beings. |

| Large transnational corporations are clearly the dominant institution of our time. They're preeminent throughout the world but especially in the Global North and its epicenter in the US. They control or greatly influence what we eat and drink, where we live, what we wear, how we get most of our essential services like health care and even what we're taught in schools up to the highest levels. They create and control our sources of information and greatly influence how we think and our view of the world and them. |

| "Sustainability" is big in corporate America today. The most laughable of the newly "sustainable" corporations are the oil companies. Pumping oil out of the ground must be one of the least sustainable endeavors on the planet. This doesn't bother the oil industry, which knows a powerful public relations word when it sees one. The companies have yet to admit that no scheme for providing sustainable energy can rely on petroleum. |
