Robert, somewhere in Europe. Excuse me? You make a giant leap from the flattening affect of economics to the destruction of individual and cultural differences, a leap without foundation. And you ignore that corporations are owned by... wait for it... individuals, either through direct stock ownership, or indirect stock ownership, such as through pensions.

Terry Berg, I disagree. John Adams:

SIGNER OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE; JUDGE; DIPLOMAT; ONE OF TWO SIGNERS OF THE BILL OF RIGHTS; SECOND PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity. I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God.1
