corporate sponsored democracy January 25, 2010

Posted by onemonkeyshow in FUCK, guest post, headlines, just the facts.

Guest post from Keith:

In light of the recent 5-4 decision from the U.S. Supreme Court, which allows unlimited corporate expenditures into political campaigns and candidate sponsorship, I wrote the following commentary. Think of it as less a flow chart and more as a common sense train-of-thought:
This country is, in theory, a democracy in which the people decide the policies of the government through the practice of voting, correct?

Yes.
In the past decade or so, this practice has come under increased scrutiny due to underperforming voting machines, increased lobbying by special interests and manipulated facts presented through the filters of corporate funded media outlets, correct?
Yes.
Further, globalization has occurred largely because corporations are now international conglomerates that cannot be held accountable to one specific nation’s set of laws, giving them enormous power to establish and follow any set of rules and laws they choose, correct?
Yes.
So this ruling basically gives corporations unlimited freedom, clout and influence into our national government, allowing them to spend unlimited funds on those who best support their causes, correct?
Yes.
Yet, since these corporations remain unaccounted for by any government’s laws, this leaves the american people relatively helpless in shaping the inner-workings of these corporations in return, correct?
Yes.
So, doesn’t this mean that corporations will spend billions of dollars guiding the public to support their business interests and that politicians will pander to corporations, instead of the voters, because they now hold the most money and influence?
Yes.
And doesn’t this also mean that any progressive agendas or ideas that oppose those of major corporations, such as healthcare reform, wall street reform, environment protections and alternative fuel options, will face nearly impossible odds since big-business conglomerates make the majority of their profits off such ventures?
Yes.
Further, doesn’t it make it nearly impossible for new and independent candidates to become elected without corporate sponsorship since such companies could easily outspend them and silence them in the media?
Yes.
With all this being said, is it seriously possible for this country to be an actual democracy when corporations now control the majority of the influence?
No.
Wake the fuck up, people.
Make your voice heard while you still have one.

until the little man lights up January 19, 2010

Do you wait for the “Walk / Don’t Walk” sign?  A result of living in NYC is that I pay little to no attention to those signs any longer.  I do, however, hold heartily to the “look both ways before crossing the street” credo – that one is the difference between living and death here.  But those little signs with the light up man don’t enter into my vision.  And yet I just watched one of my coworkers stand at a corner bereft of vehicular traffic until the sign told him it was proper to cross.  Kind of sweet.

a beautiful day January 18, 2010

I got up late (on purpose), and went in to work an hour later than usual.  And while I was sitting at my desk, the day grew beautiful, in fact too gorgeous to pass up.  These sunny, relatively warm (well NOT cold at least) days are rare in the winter, so you have to seize them.  So I left work early (pretty good deal, huh), and when I got home we pulled out two new cigars from the set Keith’s parents got us for Christmas.  We leashed Max, and we were off for a long walk through the parks of Inwood.  Dogs were everywhere – and it seemed that everyone was outside.  We were even approached by a business minded youth – he came over to meet Max, and then said “if you ever need someone to walk him, just give me a call” – and then handed me his business card.  Dog walking & sitting – what an entrepreneur!

And now as I sit here, we’re about to roast some chicken breasts so Keith can make a glorious sounding chicken & vegetable stew with pasta!  What a lovely day!

UPDATE:  Keith’s Lemon Chicken Soup with Spaghetti was absolutely perfect!  It hit the spot, and warmed me to my soul.  I love that he has found his inner chef – there’s one in each of us.  We just need a reason to bring it out.  :-)
