OK I loved the short film called "Le ballon rouge" [ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048980/ ] ... it flew all over Paris with the little kid chasing his floating Le ballon rouge. The balloon was always just above his head... somehow the balloon acted "as if" it had a life of it's own & perhaps the little boy had given it the magical powers to do this and in return the beneficent balloon guarded the boy from falling or having a car run over him as he ran through the streets of Paris with his eyes on the prize...
OK ... Giving "a thing" magical powers in children's stories has one through line "the magical powers are respected and the creatures who are brought forth are in some way wiser, kinder & closer to God than any of us could ever be". The fairy tails have a moral and uplifting meaning to a child... They are the fairy tails our parents grew up with and they are timeless and wonderful fantasy and at one time the beneficent protector here was the large USA business. in the long long ago...
Are not all things magical good? NO not any longer "corporations acting as persons" are no longer the fairy tails our parents grew up with. The corps no longer look after us; cradle to grave employment, fair wage, healthy working conditions... retirement benefits etc. [ now they feed off of us - live off the poor - have trapped us in poverty to live off our meager spotty earnings - point of fact is they have made us their sheeople - after all they have always been the rancher so WTF??? ]
I want to believe #OWS inspires us to awaken from the fairy tail of any large corporation as beneficent. I see here [ beyond the "evil fairies TROLLS" ] the #OWS finding the "new line" our corporations must walk to correct the damage they are causing our moral - social - laws.
Remember the corporations began to change along long time ago... far far away with one slogan "THE BOTTOM LINE"!!! This back-slapping solgan is still in use today and is now synonymous with rape, pillage & plunder to get every last penny from the sheeople as the corps feed us more Kool Aid !!!
If we tweak it just a bit THE BOTTOM LINE becomes THE BOTTOM LIE, CHEAT & STEAL!!! Corporations are on the bottom [ bottom feeders ] bottom dwellers [ bottoms up ] Fundamentally they MUST change to insure our future on this planet - If the #OWS is unsuccessful and the laws are left in place the world will get to "hell in a hand-basket" very very fast! I believe the red white and blue balloon is simply lost somewhere... I also see the #OWS pointing the way out of this mess... peace AtomicZ...
