Anita,

Yes, but how do we get rid of the Big Guys? Answer: DON'T BUY THEIR
CRAP! If nobody showed up at any Walmart stores, they'd be bankrupt in a
matter of days. Their empires are built on cash flow and any
interruption spells doom.

It's not a matter of boycotting, it's a matter of education- Why should
you spend your dollar somewhere else?

And, the whole corporate structure is built on confidence just like the
American dollar. Many years ago, we had the value of all currency
circulating stashed as gold to back it up. We could go to the gummint
and get that much gold for our dollars. Then it was changed to silver.
Read a dollar bill now. It says "Federal Reserve Note." Not even a
government agency. What we have now is an agreement that a dollar is
worth a dollar to all of us. If we all of a sudden say, "Wait a minute,
this is just a piece of paper," the whole system would crash.

So, we can't change the election system- the elected officials make the
laws. And they're not going to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
But we can buy FROM THE PEOPLE and make economic decisions FOR THE
PEOPLE and let ConAgra & ADM eat their own products.

But, alas, there are whores everywhere that will do anything for money
and/or fame. However, we have a choice about what we want to be. Just
because everyone else is selling their souls doesn't mean we have to.
