all but played out by now. It is no longer a matter of who thinks they are safe and who is trying to get them to believe this chaotic insecure illusion. The world will be safe when justice prevails and corporatocracy is ground into the dirt. When it comes to dividing America across party lines, we all beome losers in one way or another.
Corporations are not people.

by Stephen Leahy
TORONTO - Corporations are not only the most powerful institutions in the world, they are also psychopathic, a new Canadian documentary on globalization elegantly argues.
While the corporation has the rights and responsibilities of ”a legal person”, its owners and shareholders are not liable for its actions. Moreover, the film explains, a corporation's directors are legally required to do what is best for the company, regardless of the harm created.
What kind of person would a corporation be? A clinical psychopath, answers the documentary, which is now playing in four Canadian theatres.
”Everything we do in the world is touched by corporations in some way,” says 'The Corporation' writer Joel Bakan.
Six years ago he was researching a book on the subject and teamed up with documentary makers Mark Achbar and Jennifer Abbott, and then set out to drum up enough money to make the film and to do more than 40 interviews.
”Corporations are the most dominant institutions on the planet today. We thought it was worth taking a close look at what that means,” Bakan told IPS.
