John Perkins, author of "Confessions of an Economic Hitman," speaks at the annual convention for VETERANS FOR PEACE at Seattle in 2006. Perkins discloses how the corporations are working against the United States of America AND against the citizens of the planet itself.

    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    She does. I've asked myself, how does she find this stuff? I got a college education on Banking a couple of months ago with something she posted.

    What an awesome generalization. Yep, all corporations are certainly working against America and its people. Just like the Jews, and the blacks.

    It's been accepted too literally, the word, "corporation" into the Bad.
    Nader started it, and he's lax on the usage himself, however, if you go to his website, he makes clear definitions on what is a good corporation and what is a bad corporation. I think he has a point.

    How wonderful of Ralph to appoint himself moral ruler of corporations. I certainly hope I make his "good" list.......

    As with Nader, I think it's pretty obvious the types of corporations Perkins was refering to.

    P.S. "I" is not a corporation.
