After all of the pessimistic posts I've made, maybe I can say something positive.

Just like America sold it's manufacturing sector to the lowest bidder, we did the same as individuals when we decided to buy what the companies had to sell. And after all, times were difficult on the farms. And it was easier to have things done with uniform standards in mass production. Like milk, butter, bread, eggs, heating oil. There's a hidden message behind all of that which seems to go over people's heads, and it's too late to even talk about it. Nevertheless, there may be one way in which we can throttle down the corporations. Do things ourselves. I'm not optimistic in the sense that when we look at which things to do ourselves, we end up with things that we can't do ourselves. Those things that are most important to keeping corporations alive. Look at which corporations are the largest. That's the starting point. Just because one has chickens and bakes their own bread doesn't affect Exxon. So what does? I'll tell you what, that which slows down the corporations has a twofold benefit. Not only does it slow down the companies, but it slows down the environmental damage. It also brings jobs back to communities. But it's difficult. If you look at which companies we need to target, you'll see that in order to effectively slow them down, we must give up things that are absolutely dear to us. Things I guarantee we heroin addicts will not even consider giving up. Things which we've grown dependent upon. Things our lives literally depend on. How many people in Alaska can live without the benefits of petroleum? Case and point.

So I'm optimistic that there are ways to solve our situation.
