The big power brokers buy the Gov't and its so called relatory authorities (Medical, Scientific, Food Administrations, Drug Administrations, Resources etc etc) who in turn look after those that put them there. The Gov't passes laws to keep the layman down and under control to keep the CEO's, BIG business owners and Gov't in place. The irony is, is that I don't blame any of them. I blame the peoples lack of awareness and interest to learn why and take action to correct it. What is required is the a new 3rd missing element in all Gov't and Business undertakings...and that is the people (local communities) to be represented in all decision making (I'm not referring to Unions either). In fact Gov't and Business should be inviting the local communities in as an essential part of the decision making processes, ie as a critical part of their sustainability and long term success! And the communities should be very actively making the effort! So we'd end up with democratically elected Gov't (1), Business (Economy) & the Community (people for the good of the people), so no longer Gov't can pass laws at 3:00am in the morning to support themselves and businesses to profit in either Power or $.

Whatever that change may be, we must work hard at making the change, as capitolism is nearign its end.
