Quite so. So when you see a farmer with a contaminated field sued out of his farm because of the fucking wind, you should be outraged. You don't just say "oh that's legal".

You call it out. You scream it.

You make sure everyone that can hear you hears it. Saying "eh, it's legal" is a great way to keep it that way. In essence, you should feel bad for not being outraged.


I am outraged yes, but not at all at the corporations. My frustration is with a government that has no interested in preventing those things from happening

The hallucinations are probably a result of the GMO food. *nod*

GMO food is good. Great even. Monsanto has a corporate dickishness hanging over its head, but a similar (though generally less lawsuit-happy) disckishness can be found in Whole Foods/Organic foods stores that sell "Organic" food to the ill-informed for drastically inflated prices.

I am a good hater. I can be mad at both.

I watched this movie called The Purge a couple months ago. Basically, one night a year, all laws are suspended. There's lots of murdering and raping and shit going on. Point being, if the neighbor came over and burned down my house, legally, I'd still be mad at him.

Mostly because that government is in the corporations' pockets.

Speaking as a consumer, I find it far more dickish to charge outrageous prices.

Yes. The bribes campaign contributions they give the government to keep the laws broken not only makes them abusers of the law as is, but also the proximate main cause of continuing such a pattern of the abuse.

I don't have room left for hatred. It consumed me from the inside out and now I can't hold it in anymore.

Phillip Morris is awesome. They were required to launch an anti-smoking campaign and they made and released one that encouraged young people to smoke.

Even better. I believe one of their ads consisted of a mother lording over her ashamed daughter telling her daughter she just wasn't mature enough to smoke. Delightful.

Absolutely. Suicide booths accepting Bitcoins, for example.

Yes they do mislead but ultimately isn't it a person's choice to not only smoke but also continue smoking regardless of what pressured them into it?
