Very good article Jean.

The truth in this is so on target..great read!!

the corporations have also taken the competition out of bussiness.

Remember the saying.....competition is good for bussiness, well anyone who doesn't see that is an idiot. The huge corporations control everything so there is no competition for keeping the prices of anything down....we see it in almost every aspect of our society.

and congress who once stopped these Companys from becomeing huge conglomerates have let this happen.


Just like a couple of weeks ago the FCC let a major TV news station by up a Major newpaper, the head of the FCC along with 4 other board members voted for this 3 to 2 with out permission from congress, what did congess do....NOTHING!!

what do you think is going to happen when they start controling our local news? You think we have problems getting news now, wait till they own all the small papers where we get our information and then put it on the net. We are going to censorship so fast it is unbelieveable.

This is all getting way out of hand and another fight Americans are going to have to take on.
