Those Damn Corporations.

I have to be honest and say that I myself new very little about corporations. Well, except that they are controlling our lives.

Now I see that they hold the same rights a individuals? I don't understand how that ever flew in a court of law, but I guess it did. It's kind of like calling the Washington Mutual building in New York a human being. What these laws really seem to be doing is protecting these giant companies from holding anyone person accountable for wrongful actions.

In the movie stock traders were portrayed as being completely detached from the realities outside of the stock floor. This is troubling too me, and further reiterates my belief that if your making tons of money you gotta be selling your soul to the devil. I have friends who work in finances in NYC and I have always found that they are in fact truly detachment from what they do at work verses what they believe during the weekends. Kind of like that CEO of Shell who believed in doing good things for the world, but once in his work place he became blinded by dollar signs.

People don't want to know what they are doing or supporting is bad. That is probably why most people wouldn't choose to watch this movie, because they don't want to be burdened with the guilt. Reality is a hard pill to swallow.
