Welcome to Gaia! ::

When did the corruption start..?

When did the Corps Start to take over the Gov??

Same for the Farms??

When did GMO foods start? genetically modified foods.
What has it done?

What happened to make CLOTH become PLASTIC, ryon, nylon, and so forth..

GM foods started back in the 30-40's..
If you want the truth its baan happening longer. but we can leave out on Farmers picking certain crops, and growing what Plants grow best..

Plants naturally change, but we have kept them from changing, very much. since Early history. Lets stick to REALLY modifing the plant on purpose, not random selection.

Look up Rape seed oil..
What plant is used to make Vegitable oil...
NOW, check out your peanut butter, and find the Peanut oil that should be in it.
Look up Fortified foods.

anon,
there is a way to defeat corruption..(then, not as easy now)
There are a few ways..really.

First is to control a substance/product/goods..
release/create more of those goods.
NOW, those on top have control over the food stocks of the USA.
Current corps have controlover products/goods released to the USA..(try to find a REAL DVR)
They gained control over products like wool/cotton. with PLASTICS..

Major advances in this country were PAID for by YOU..and your taxes. the intercontenental rail was PAID for with tax dollars.

If the Gov. wouild PUSH advancements, and force the corps to Follow..it could work.

Vertual goods..there should be NO SUCH THING..a correction of the last 30 years of copyright protection should happen.

Long ago, there used to be a nice feature in this nation. YOU COULD MAKE/FIX just about anything, if you had alittle knowledge. PARTS were abundant. not now. Products are being made that BREAK ONLY.. you cant fix them(not easiliy or cheap). its easyier to JUST BUY NEW.

The biggest change over theyears has been 1...
It changed that those running for office, as they got POPULAR, gained money from those that LIKED THEM.. NOW we have 2 groups...those 2 groups, SELECT who we vote for. They spend millions to elect a person to the office.
NO OTHER democracy has ONLY 2 groups. I think the the smallest group number in OTHER democracy, tends to be 4-6... 4-6 groups debating is a wonderful thing.

Do you think its a democracy?
When only 30% of the USA votes?
When people are kept so poor, that going to Vote is an Excess of time they dont have?
If you count that 30%, its all the registered demo/reps...not much of anyone else. To over turn this you would need another froup, and have around 20% of the USA involved in it..
That there isnt a button on the ballots for "NONE OF THE ABOVE".

YOU really dont think that the NEWS(papers/media) arnt paid off NOT to dig into peoples past and REALLY report what is happening on the hill??
I think we should treat our representitives like we treat our actors. But there is a LAW against it.
