The Corporation

Tonight I did end up watching The Corporation after a very long day of studying at school, though it was a lovely study session with P. O'Neill. So um...wow. I don't even know where to begin with this one. Pfizer went into a community, built a building for housing, and since it was near a subway stop that "used to have a lot of crime", Pfizer constructed large turnstiles to keep people from taking shelter in the subway station. They went into the community, and displaced the residents of that community, for the betterment of that community.

Did you know that you can actually live in a town created by Disney. Its the most insane thing ever. The town is Celebration, Florida. It is the great American town, stars and stripes in front and everything. They have main street, and is about 15 000 people. Does that sound a little frightening. Can you even imagine?

Did you know the US Supreme Court said you can patent life forms? Anything but a human being. How can you own genes? I don't understand. Essentially we are going to commodify everything on this earth...

Monsanto...uck. Fuck. We'll tell you what the news is, says Fox to its own employees. I don't care about the truth. Falsifying news is not against the law apparently in the States at least.

This is just shocking. Joel Baken; You are amazing.

Much love to all,
