What do BP and the Banks Have In Common? The Era of Corporate Anarchy

by Gonzalo Lira from his blog. This guy puts things in the right perspective. What I find so difficult to understand is why most people don't get it and simply swallow whole whatever corporate sponsored pundits say.
Curiously, individuals—ordinary people—are being supervised and regulated more and more stringently. Yet at the same time, corporations are becoming more and more free to do as they please. No one notices how strange this is—we have even lost the social framework to even talkabout regulating and supervising corporations, because too many foolish pundits equate supervision and regulation with Socialism. Yet curiously, personal freedom is being chipped away, day by day, without a peep from these self-same "freedom-loving" pundits.
