Corporations and governments

The people trying to occupy whatever corresponds to Wall Street in their communities are a few years too late. They didn't notice when corporations became more powerful than governments, when they could start poisoning the environment and our children and legislation could not keep up. They did not say anything when television numbed their minds and made it impossible for most people to notice that governments were increasingly irrelevant. I saw an interview last night in which somebody said political leaders are like placebos, to give people the impression that they have something to say about the way things are run. Amen to that.
