Huge corporations have immense power already and they are getting bigger and more powerful. They shape the media, which shapes the minds of the masses. A handful of powerful media giants/corporations are able to decide how much airtime to give political parties, political decisions and they decide what we learn about as a people. Corporations are all about money, which means that politics is becoming more about money, rather than the good of the people as a whole

A democratic government is supposed to represent the people, but we now know the government often yields to the interests of these huge companies.

My question is:
How do we as a people a) wake up society to the truth and b) give control of our political destiny to the people? (How do we re-boot democracy?)

In 1641, the Dutch governor of Manhattan offered the first scalp bounty; a
common practice in many European countries. This was broadened by the
Puritans to include a bounty for Natives fit to be sold for slavery. The
Dutch and Puritans joined forces to exterminate all Natives from New
England, and village after village fell. Following an especially successful raid against the Pequot in what is now Stamford, Connecticut, the churches of
Manhattan announced a day of "thanksgiving" to celebrate victory over the
heathen savages. This was the 2nd Thanksgiving. During the feasting, the
hacked off heads of Natives were kicked through the streets of Manhattan
like soccer balls.

The killing took on a frenzy, with days of thanksgiving being held after
each successful massacre. Even the friendly Wampanoag did not escape.
Their chief was beheaded, and his head placed on a pole in Plymouth,
Massachusetts

I’m Arab. I’m also ex-Muslim and my best friends are Israeli and South African Jews. None of that means anything to people who abuse me because I’m Arab. I get called names like ******, scum, and terrorist. I blame Islamic extremism for smashing up our image because even Arab Christians, ex-Muslims, and Jews can wait for the same abuse. But I’m tired of it. I’m better educated and maturer than most of my abusers who think their race makes them better than me. I’ve gone through great pains to abandon Islam and be open-minded and replace my mistaken Islamic beliefs about Jews and Westerners. I’ve spoken to Marines and rabbis. I run the risk of disownment and imprisonment if caught. I’m the reverse of everything people think I am. If you have anything against Islam, why don’t you blame it on the religion and its fanatics instead of anybody who looks Arab or Muslim?

I love how people say Mexico is a crap hole. Yes, it is for the bottom 80% of the population, and do realize the upper 20% make incomes that are similar to people in the United States causing a income distrubtion that is worse than the United States, and can thier be a way to grow the ecomony market sparking unrest. The free trade agreement is speededup ecomonic since 1994 grew US ecomony by 67% and the Mexican economy by 46% but the income gaps between the upper and lower workers is growing. I think trade agreements can work if thier better safety in place for workers so they dont feel left out
