They are not people, but they still prefer to live in sunny, third-world countries where their valued staff work for sardines and crackers. They are not people, but they have grown dependent on large sums of money that they stuff under some of the world's largest matresses. They can not speak, but sit idly by for years, with their hands over their ears moaning loudly to prevent any new idea from entering. They have no feelings, but become somewhat terrified when confronted by a living wage. They do not dream, but they have frequent nightmeres. Corporations are not people, they just wish they could be, and swallow up the last sector of the earth that has yet remained unavailable for a short sale.

Yes to more regulation! The corporate lobbyists don't write the legislation or anything! It just magically creates fairness!

No. It takes honest representation. But a lack or regulation ALWAYS leads to criminal abuse.

Honesty is key either way. If the representation were honest people, there could be no abuse anyway and regulation would not be necessary. There will be abuse either way, what's needed is a revolution.

revolution = honesty???

"revolution" does not mean civil war, good golly. People need to open their eyes and see the abuse and corruption in the system before they will demand change. A revolution of education is what I mean, but I'm not holding my breath for it.
