Hi DavidM, IanG, et al,
I'm not talking about destroying the businesses behind the
corporation. I'm just saying a step in the right direction might be
to stop granting them protections from criminal and social
responsibility.
A second step might be to expose the lie behind the "free" in so-
called free enterprise. Despite their rhetoric, businesses don't
want, and never have wanted, competition. Microsoft is a prime
example. Almost all of their effort is spent projecting and
protecting their near-perfect monopoly on a product that anyone who
knows anything about software development will tell you is clearly
inferior to other limited options. Their constant stream of
"patches" and "upgrades" are just tardy fixes for usually security
related problems that would have been eliminated years ago in an Open
Software society.
Anyway, I don't want to ruin this great thread with computer talk.
Best to all,
Mark Steven Heyman

Keep pushing it. Certainly we could scrap
corporations but they do serve many
functions in terms of research, production,
food supply, power supply, etc, so what do you
replace them with? My concern is certainly that
they play many other negative roles, such as creation
of desires and supporting inequality.
