im with wallberg, i like the story, but from the title i was expecting more. as the world gets better connected, and the corporate spin masters perfect advertising, its not real hard to see who is in control. its all about money, always was, but between electronics and years of practice, its a science now, the science of guiding the masses, the sheep.

i hate television, i never watch it anymore, cause im so sick of how it portrays american culture, how it guides it. the culture of the television is shallow, and comerical, and what ever the masses want, (jerry springer) and its devoid of real substance. its there to sell a product, or several products, by whatever means they can think of next. thats not to say i wouldent watch nova or frontline on pbs if i thought about it, and i watch movies. but screw the tv. as far as 'corporate america' is concerned, or the gov for that matter, i really enjoyed reading...
